ITW Construction Products Offsite’s Cullen Gable Restraint Bracket
The ability to satisfy the industry’s needs by collaborating
and making its construction partners part of the product development process is
central to ITW Construction Products Offsite customer-back innovation
culture.
ITW Construction Products Offsite was approached by the NHBC
and worked in collaboration with the Trussed Rafter Association (TRA) and
leading housebuilders to create an NHBC accepted solution with tested and qualified
connections for timber gables to masonry walls. This was to maximise safety on-site
during the construction process and beyond. The outcome was a gable restraint
system accepted by the NHBC as meeting their technical requirements and
delivering a robust structural fixing solution.
The Gable Restraint Bracket provides significant site benefits
to housebuilders. Junctions between elements that make up the building fabric
can cause problems. The Cullen Gable Restraint system saves housebuilders time compared
with traditional build methods and assures build quality as the simplification
of the junction detail removes on-site complexity of the build process during
construction.
The building fabric serves to protect occupants and provide
safety. ITW Construction Products
Offsite solution delivers a more robust system to prevent potential future issues
helping make UK new homes a safer environment for occupants. A complete
solution that meets the requirements of building standards approve document A.
