Frequently asked questions
What load can snap-lock framing take?
It is designed for non-load-bearing wet-room and partition framing. Confirm the exact rating with the supplier for your panel span and tile weight.
Can it be used on uneven floors?
Yes. Adjustable support feet level the frame on out-of-true floors without shimming or cutting.
What tools are needed?
Basic site tools - drill, level and wrench. No welder and no specialist labour.
Is it compatible with backer board?
Yes. The fixing kit's washer-disc screws fasten 6-20 mm backer boards straight to the profiles.
Aluminium or steel?
Both are offered. Aluminium is lighter and corrosion-resistant; steel is stiffer for longer spans.
