In place of the heavy traditional 30x5mm strap at 2.0m c/c spacing, the FMS strap is installed to provide restraint at every joist end, whether built-in or on hangers. So there’s no need to calculate where the straps go or worry about getting one in the wrong place.
Every job gets done quicker and more smoothly. The FMS strap goes on every joist end up to 600mm c/c spacing, and blockwork up to 125mm thick.
- Ideal solution for 2 ½ & 3 storey buildings which require straps on joist ends when built into masonry walls
- Improves quality of build
- Saves time and labour costs
- Greatly reduces scope for installation errors
- Simplifies on-site inspection process
- Accepted by NHBC
