Latest product launches
At Peikko, we are always seeking ways to off er more value for our
customers. This year, we have introduced the following new products
– for a faster, safer, and more effi cient way to design and build.
The new GRIP Recess Plate ensures
a rough concrete surface in the joint
The GRIP Recess Plate is a new product
to supplement existing wall-connection
products from Peikko. The GRIP Recess Plate
is a thin, profi led steel sheet used to create
a rough concrete surface. With the GRIP
Recess Plate, the surface of the concrete is
considered to be rough in accordance with
EN 1992-1-1 (section 6.2.5). Once the formwork
is removed, an embossed surface will
remain on the precast concrete surface.
The GRIP Recess Plate is primarily
designed to be used in precast wall
connections together with SUMO® Wall
Shoes, creating a rough surface for
improved shear transfer in the joint.
However, the GRIP Recess Plate can be used
for any application with a concrete surface
where a roughened surface is required.
Peikko’s PSB® Headed Anchors
simplify rebar connections
PSB® Headed Anchor reliably anchors steel
reinforcing bars – rebars – into concrete,
transfers the tensile strength of rebar to
concrete, and simplifi es installation in
congested areas of concrete structures.
PSB® Headed Anchor comprises ribbed
bar and a choice of forged anchor heads
at one or both ends, enabling users to
optimize reinforcement detailing and reduce
reinforcement congestion in joint areas.
Due to its design and simplicity, PSB®
Headed Anchor can be easily and quickly
installed, and without the need for special
tools. It can be oriented horizontally or
vertically, and generally optimized to the
space available. Its design avoids the need
for reinforcement loops in detailing areas,
and reduces anchoring lengths compared
with straight reinforcement.
PSB® Headed Anchor can be used
wherever rebar anchorage is needed
to improve joint detailing or for easy
installation at a construction site. Its many
applications in concrete elements include
foundation and fl oor slabs, columns;
footings, walls, beams, frame corners, and
corbels.
PSB® Headed Anchor is ETA (European
Technical Assessment) assessed and
CE marked. It meets all standards and
requirements regarding mechanical, fi re,
and corrosion resistance.
For comprehensive information on PSB®
Headed Anchor, including on resistance
and all other aspects of performance,
materials used, dimensions, concrete
grades, and model options, please consult
the Peikko Technical Manual.
