Hollowcore Shutter Clips
On many sites, it’s standard practice to ‘site mix’ infill material and short fill the end location between hollowcore floors. In some cases, this practice can result in non-compliance i.e.,
- The structural integrity of the floor would be compromised in relation to load spread between units, vertically and laterally
- Air loss would occur between the units and into the vented cavity
- Fire spread would occur between the units into the vented cavity and floor above
- The average density would not meet standards
- Sound would escape between the units
The Shutter Clip is a very simple product and is a solution for these problems.
Benefits:
- Safe – No temporary works, as shuttering the end of the units is eliminated; no hand tools or loose fixings are needed
- Sustainable – Manufactured from recycled Polypropylene plastic
- Lightweight – Transportable and strong
- Fast – Quick solution when you compare this to timber shuttering
- Flexible – Held in place by flexible plastic wings to ensure variable joint widths can be achieved
- Compliant – Meets Robust Details E-FC-4 and Building Regulations Parts B, E, F and L. Plus, full load transfer can occur between hollowcore floor units
