Product Catalogue and Coating Legend

The product range includes various post bases differentiated by coatings such as black zinc, galvanized zinc, hot-dip zinc, stainless steel, and Dacromet zinc. All products carry CE marking and are supported by technical documentation and installation videos accessible online.

Adjustable Post Bases

Designed for installation flexibility, adjustable post bases allow height modification post-installation and offer high compression and tension resistance. They feature service holes for screw insertion (using included HBS+ Evo screws) and come in multiple sizes and coatings. Models include R10, R20, R30, R40, RI40, R70, and R90, each with specific dimensional and fastening details. Complementary fastening tools such as drill bits and cordless screwdrivers are specified.

Fixed Post Bases

Fixed post bases provide rigid, permanent connections for timber columns. They are categorized by design and application, including concealed crosswise bases for cantilever joints, vertical flange bases for square columns, rounded wing bases, and various sleeve types for square and round posts. Additional types include wall-anchored, U-shaped, bracketed, and reclining bases. Detailed technical tables specify dimensions, hole patterns, heights, and packaging. Many fixed bases feature concealed anchorage to enhance aesthetics and reduce moisture-related decay, compatible with epoxy resin, metal anchors, screw anchors, and stand-off plates.

Installation and Fastening Accessories

The catalogue lists essential accessories such as HBS+ Evo screws, epoxy resins (XEpOX 235.4, 226.4), metal anchors (AB1 inox), screw anchors (SKR, SKS), drill bits, cordless screwdrivers, washers, and countersunk washers. These ensure secure, durable post base installations.

Key Recommendations and Best Practices

Choose post bases considering wood durability, material, structural resistance, aesthetics, and ease of installation.
Use adjustable post bases where post height adjustment after installation is needed.
Prefer fixed post bases for permanent, concealed, and rigid connections.
Employ stand-off plates and concealed anchorage to minimize moisture exposure and decay risk at post ends.
Verify all technical data with the responsible designer; the company disclaims liability for printing or data errors.
