Features & Benefits

Production / Installation Improvements 

Flat bar bar profiles allow for increased flexibility in ballast combinations to achieve the perfect level of tension in the fabric to remove rippling and imperfections. 

When used in F56 Weight Bar:

  • Flat bar profiles allow for an additional ballast length to be inserted into the F56 Weight Bar profile, providing a total of 1.6kg/m (1.07 Ib/ft) of ballast, twice as much weight when compared to the 12mm round rod. 

When used in the F72 Mult-Bar:

  • The increased ballast size in conjunction with the new F72 Multi-Bar profile allows for a total of 3.2kg/m (2.14 Ib/ft) ballast to be inserted.

    NOTE: When cutting ballast to size, a zinc-rich primer should be used to coat the cut faces to prevent corrosion. 

 Functional Benefits

  • Additional ballast provides increased tension on the fabric to remove wrinkles and maintain a premium fabric finish. This is particularly relevant to systems with PVC. 
  • Flat bar profiles act as internal support within the extrusion significantly reducing horizontal deflection. 
  • The capacity for increased weight in a Wire Guide system is critical to reduce weight bar movement. 
  • Heavy Duty Galvanized finish to prevent corrosion.
