High load capacity
295mm wide span boards
Adek Comfort Grip and Adek Enhanced Grip 295mm wide span boards are available in two formats to suit the different requirements of individual specifiers and their projects.
The 20mm deep board is very strong in its own right and would suit most applications where longer spans are needed. However, we have also developed a 30mm deep version that is capable of spanning 1.2m between fixing centres.
147mm span boards
Adek Comfort Grip and Adek Enhanced Grip 147mm boards are also available in two depths: 20mm and 30mm.
Updated guidance has been issued within ‘BS 8579:2020 Guide to the Design of Balconies and Terraces’, in relation to safe loads. The table below summarises the maximum fixing centres for each Adek board. Our technical team is on hand to talk through designs and provide recommendations.
