Rubber belts under beams.
Rubber strips under joists are a key element of wooden and composite terrace constructions, providing stability and protection against moisture. Made of flexible, weather-resistant rubber, they effectively dampen vibrations, reduce noise, and protect the wood from contacting the ground, preventing rot and extending the structure's durability. With anti-slip properties, they enhance installation safety. Available in various widths and thicknesses, tailored to standard joists.
What are the rubber straps under the roof battens used for?
Rubber pads under the joists are a key structural element of wooden and composite decks, used to protect the joists from direct contact with the ground. They serve an insulating function, protecting the wood from moisture, which prevents rotting and extends the durability of the entire structure. Additionally, they dampen vibrations, reduce noise, and improve the stability of the foundation, enhancing the comfort of using the deck.
Do rubber pads increase the durability of the terrace?
Yes, rubber pads significantly extend the lifespan of the terrace. By isolating the joists from the ground, they protect them from absorbing moisture, reducing the risk of wood rot and corrosion of structural elements. Additionally, thanks to their shock-absorbing properties, they reduce friction and mechanical stress, minimizing wear and tear on both the joists and decking boards.
What is the resistance of rubber belts under the joists to weather conditions?
Rubber straps for joists are made of high-quality EPDM or SBR rubber. EPDM rubber is known for its excellent resistance to weather conditions, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures, making it particularly durable for outdoor applications. SBR, although slightly less UV-resistant, still provides very good insulation and mechanical durability. Both materials are characterized by flexibility and resistance to moisture, oils, and chemicals.
Can rubber strips under floor joists reduce noise and vibrations?
Yes, rubber strips under the joists effectively dampen vibrations and reduce the noise created when walking on the terrace. Thanks to their flexibility, they absorb vibrations, which decreases the creaking and knocking effect of the terrace boards. This is particularly important for terraces mounted on concrete or metal structures.
Are rubber belts suitable for all types of pulleys?
Yes, rubber pads can be used under both wooden and composite or aluminum joists. In the case of wooden joists, they provide additional protection against moisture, while for aluminum joists they reduce vibrations and prevent direct contact of the metal with the ground. It is worth choosing the appropriate width of the pads to perfectly fit them to the dimensions of the joists.
Using rubber straps under the joists
Rubber mats under joists are used in the construction of wooden and composite terraces, technical platforms, balconies, and garden gazebos. Placed between the joists and a concrete, wooden, or metal surface, they protect the structure from moisture, extending its lifespan. In ventilated terraces, they ensure proper air circulation, limiting mold growth. On balconies and green roofs, they reduce point loads and minimize noise. In industrial halls and warehouses, they are used as vibroacoustic insulation under floor structures.
The benefits of using rubber pads under floor joists
Pasy gumowe pod legary zwiększają trwałość konstrukcji tarasów, balkonów i podestów, chroniąc legary przed wilgocią i bezpośrednim kontaktem z podłożem. Dzięki elastyczności amortyzują drgania, eliminując skrzypienie i hałas, co poprawia komfort użytkowania. Zapewniają izolację termiczną i wibroakustyczną, co jest kluczowe przy montażu na betonowych płytach lub metalowych konstrukcjach. W tarasach wentylowanych umożliwiają swobodny odpływ wody, zapobiegając zawilgoceniu drewna. Są odporne na warunki atmosferyczne, promieniowanie UV oraz duże obciążenia, co sprawia, że znacząco wydłużają żywotność całej konstrukcji.
