Let your walls do some heavy lifting with a proper fixation plate
That balcony you want to have on the back of the house, overlooking the garden? A versatile construction company will be able to draw up a plan and build it according to your wishes. But a balcony will need railings to make them safe to use. And those railings must be affixed to the wall in a thorough and safe manner. Obviously, the fixation plates used for that purpose must be sturdy, resistant and reliable. Also, it’s definitely a plus if they can be easily handled.
A fixation plate designed to be used with insulated walls
If you have decided to cover the outer walls of your house with insulation, you will need to pay special attention to the way you fix objects of any kind to the façade. The insulation typically consists of several layers, all of which combine to create an energy-saving effect. It works best when all layers remain unbroken. This is why special fixation plates have been developed that are both reliable in their strength and durability and can be used without causing any structural damage to the insulation of your building.
Why specific fixation plates for insulated walls are important
The great risk when attaching objects such as handrails, awnings or canopies to an insulated façade is in breaking through the layers of the insulation. This breakage can lead to thermal bridges or in other words, to areas in the masonry that assume a lower temperature than the surrounding areas. That, in turn, can lead to the growth of mold within the masonry, which poses a risk both to the structure and to health. Fixation plates tailor-made to work with insulation systems can be applied to the surface without causing breakage and are thus the clever choice for everything that needs to be attached to the wall.
Fixation plates in various sizes for all purposes
There are plenty of objects that you might want to have on the façade of your house. In addition to large objects, there are also many smaller ones such as pipe clamps, signs or lighting. Of course, subject to weight and size of an object, fixation plates are needed in varying sizes as well. Varifix fixation ashlars and cylinders are being offered with a wide range of sizes and thicknesses to fit all possible needs.
An easy-to-handle and reliable fixation plate
Considering all the advantages of a specific fixation plate that works well with insulated walls, one may believe that they are difficult to handle. With Varifix fixation elements, the opposite is true. While they are widely used by professionals in charge of equipping your home with everything you need, they can also be used by laymen who want to attach smaller items to the wall. Regardless of who works with them, Varifix elements can be easily applied and the breakage can quickly and completely be sealed upon completion, preventing possible thermal bridges.
