PlateFix PF150 System
(Side Fix)
The PlateFix PF150 was born from the double-disc fixings by joining the discs into a single piece profile base plate with an outer clamping plate for a stronger multipurpose balustrade fixing. This enables the PF150 to be used with single or double fixings and it can be used vertically, horizontally, angled or a combination of the above.
- Architecturally Styled: less ‘busy’ alternative to a double-disc.
- Engineered: solid 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel anchor fixing, providing the strength of double fixing with the simplicity of single plate design.
