+ Spacers

Spacer strip^hqDS

High quality spacer between two reinforcement layers

The spacer strip ^hqDS is a universally applicable spacer in the form of a flat lattice framework that is bent out of the plane in the shape of a sine curve.

Installation / Placement

For the placement of spacer strips ^hqDS, a distance of approx. 0.50 m between strips is recommended. This corresponds to approx. 1 strip per m² of top reinforcement. In case of thicker top reinforcements, it is possible to widen the pitch between strips.
