krafton® 236.40 FRP Bridge Decking Plank

With its width of 236 mm, this is a unique FRP bridge decking plank within the krafton® range. Its limited width of less than 300 mm makes this plank very easy to handle. It is often used for pedestrian bridges, jetties, boardwalks and terraces. The practical click system neatly conceals the screws, resulting in a closed bridge deck. Rainwater is drained off to the side, to prevent water from affecting the support structure. These FRP profiles are quick and easy to install from above with a drill and screwdriver. Each tab has a notch to allow the screw to be placed at a straight angle, to prevent the screw from slipping during drilling.

Everything about the krafton® 236.40 FRP Bridge Decking Plank

The 236.40 FRP bridge decking plank is highly suitable for mounting on a wooden or plastic support structure. We are the only supplier of FRP bridge decking planks whose planks can also be mounted on a steel support structure with DIBt approval.

Description

This plank has the major advantage of a technically advanced and practically designed click system. As a result, the joints between the planks have optimal contact, allowing them to be and remain perfectly positioned on the support structure.

Moreover, the horizontal notch in the bottom of the FRP plank simplifies and speeds up pre-drilling for screw holes, since the drill bit will not slip. As a result, mounting from above is extra easy and fast.
