The contractor G&G Engineering evaluated different connection products for reliability and longevity before deciding that Lindapter’s fixings were the best choice for the application due to Lindapter’s range of independent technical approvals and over 80 years’ experience in designing and manufacturing steelwork connections. After speaking to Lindapter’s technical team, the contractor decided that M12 Hollo-Bolt Flush Fit should be used to secure the chequer plates back to the existing chequer plate flooring. The Flush Fit head variant of the Hollo-Bolt provides a flush finish, meaning that the top of the connection will be level with the steel. Sherwin Williams and the installers were confident that the Hollo-Bolt Flush Fit was the correct choice for the application due to the independently approved safe working loads and range of product approvals.
