The X-fix KS tension dowel connection is also ideal for attaching and positively securing so-called "bearer beams" to walls, which serve as supports for ceiling elements. This application enables quick and secure assembly as well as a permanently stable connection between wall and ceiling elements.
FIRE PROTECTION:
In the event of a fire, firefighters can generally better assess the risk of collapse in timber constructions and timber-to-timber connections than in steel or reinforced concrete buildings. Even timber buildings with metallic fasteners (e.g. steel) pose particular risks, as these can start to glow in the event of a fire. As a result, they lose their load-bearing capacity, which can lead to the failure of components and the collapse of entire structures.
