The ENDUROFRAME® Building System features a patented bent tab tiedown that replaces brackets to tie down frames, offering an uplift capacity of up to 30kN and significant cost savings by eliminating the need for expensive brackets that can be time consuming to fix. These innovations save time and money while reducing dependency on costly external brackets.
We are continually enhancing the ENDUROFRAME® Building System, not only to optimize its manufacturing process but also to simplify onsite installation for tradespeople.
It is crucial to ensure that frames are securely anchored to the underlying structure in order to withstand wind uplift forces. Typically, inserting a bolt into a bottom plate next to a stud only yields up to 6kN of uplift resistance, which is inadequate for most wind regions and commonly used truss spans. To address this limitation, additional brackets are necessary to be fixed to the side of the stud and secured with bolts. However, these brackets can be costly and time-consuming to install.
In contrast, the ENDUROFRAME® Building System incorporates a patented bent tab tiedown produced on the ENDURO® Rollformer. This innovative approach replaces the need for brackets fixed to studs and effectively secures studs to the underlying structure while offering an impressive uplift capacity of up to 30kN. By eliminating the requirement for expensive side-mounted brackets attached to studs, significant savings in both material and labour costs are achieved.
Moreover, the bent tab tiedown incorporates pre-punched holes for precise anchor bolt placement, removing any uncertainty for installation teams regarding bracket and bolt positioning. The bolt hole furthest away from the slab edge can be used greatly increasing the capacity of the bolt into the concrete slab.
It’s even possible to print bolt type or uplift capacity information on each stud, further facilitating installation. These innovations save time and money for both installers and building surveyors while reducing dependency on costly external brackets.
We’re delighted to introduce an enhancement that empowers users of ENDUROCADD® software to choose which side of the stud should face the bent tab tiedown. This flexibility allows the bent tab tiedown to face away from the stud flanges, simplifying drilling and anchor bolt insertion during installation.
