FAQ's
Steel cleats play a critical role in maintaining the stability and integrity of various structural elements. Primarily, they are used to support purlins within roofs, walls, and mezzanine floors, ensuring that these components remain securely in place and do not tilt or shift over time. Beyond purlins, steel cleats are versatile enough to be used in other areas of construction as well. For example, they can provide secure connections for wall plates, trusses, beams, and studs, making them indispensable in both residential and commercial building projects. By reinforcing these key structural connections, steel cleats help to distribute loads evenly, enhancing the overall strength and durability of the construction.
Steel cleats come in various types, each designed to suit specific applications and installation methods. The main categories of cleats are weld-on, bolt-on, and concealed, and these terms refer to how the cleat is attached to the structural framework.
- Weld-On Cleats: These are directly welded onto an existing steel frame. Once in place, purlins or other structural elements can be bolted to the cleat. Weld-on cleats provide a very strong and permanent connection, making them ideal for situations where maximum stability is required.
- Bolt-On Cleats: As the name suggests, these cleats are bolted onto the frame rather than welded. This allows for easier installation and removal, which can be advantageous in situations where the structure might need to be adjusted or disassembled later. Bolt-on cleats offer a strong connection while providing flexibility for future modifications.
- Concealed Cleats: Concealed cleats are designed to be hidden from view, offering a clean and seamless appearance. Despite being out of sight, they still provide strong support and can be either bolted or welded onto the frame, depending on the needs of the project. Concealed cleats are often used in architectural designs where aesthetics are just as important as functionality.
Each type of cleat has its unique advantages, allowing builders to choose the best option for their specific needs, whether they prioritise strength, flexibility, or visual appeal.
