Frequently Asked Questions
How far apart should strapping be?
Ceiling strapping should be installed perpendicular to the joists above, at every 16 inches. A sheet of drywall is 48 inches or 4 feet wide, therefore 16 inch on-centre spacing permits the drywall to be strapped / fastened 4 times (one on each end and two in the middle) across its width.
What is strapping used for?
Strapping materials are used for securing pallet loads and bundling products together during storage and transport. When used for palletising, they are complemented by the additional safety of stretch wrap.
What is the best strapping material?
Steel is the most commonly used strapping material owing to its high tensile strength. Steel strapping can be used for securing even the bulkiest loads, like construction materials, logs or industrial equipment, to flatbed rail cars or trucks for worldwide shipping.
What is the difference between polyester and polypropylene strapping?
Polyester strapping is smooth and glossy while polypropylene strapping has matte finish and is usually embossed. Polyester retains high tension over a long time period while polypropylene has low tension retention (often loses about half of the applied tension within an hour after being applied.)
