Koelner D-PP-1040 Perforated Plate 100x400x2 mm

The Koelner D-PP-1040 perforated plate is a robust structural component measuring 100x400x2 mm, engineered to provide reliable reinforcement in timber construction and carpentry projects. Manufactured from high-quality steel, this mounting plate serves as a critical element for creating stable connections between wooden elements, ensuring structural integrity and long-term durability in various framing applications.

Advantages

This perforated plate offers exceptional mechanical strength due to its 2 mm thickness, making it suitable for demanding load-bearing connections. The pre-drilled hole pattern is precisely engineered to allow for efficient and accurate installation using standard nails or screws, which significantly reduces assembly time on site. Its versatile design ensures compatibility with a wide range of timber dimensions, providing a professional solution for both structural and decorative wood joints.

Suitable for

• Reinforcing timber joints in roof trusses
• Connecting wooden beams and rafters
• General carpentry and framing applications
• Repairing and strengthening existing wooden structures

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for use in highly corrosive environments, such as direct contact with seawater or chemically aggressive atmospheres, unless additional protective coatings are applied. It is also not designed for applications requiring specialized heavy-duty anchoring into concrete or masonry without appropriate structural assessment.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 100 mm x 400 mm
• Material thickness: 2 mm
• Material: High-quality steel
• Installation method: Nails or screws

How to use

To install the Koelner perforated plate, position the plate over the joint where the two timber members meet. Ensure the plate is centered to distribute the load evenly across the connection. Use appropriate construction nails or wood screws through the pre-drilled holes to secure the plate firmly to the timber. It is recommended to fill all holes or follow the specific structural design requirements to achieve the maximum load-bearing capacity of the connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the dimensions to ensure they fit your specific timber joint requirements
• Ensure the fasteners used are compatible with the hole diameter of the plate
• Check the load-bearing requirements of your project against the plate specifications

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the timber surface is clean and level before installation to prevent gaps that could compromise the stability of the connection. Use galvanized fasteners if the installation is exposed to moisture to prevent premature corrosion.
