Our new product HAMMER LOCK PLATE WALLS are made on site with plates being fixed together with a hammer. So that the track becomes like a sheet of curved steel. The assembly is simple and fast. Knock the Hammer Lock tabs down onto the track hole which locks both plates together. HAMMER LOCK PLATES are sold as single plates making curved walls a lot cheaper, easier and faster to make. Every architectural curve you can imagine can be put together. Curved wall frames, alcoves, curved ceilings, barrel arches, soffits. The length of these can be endless as you make the track yourself with just a hammer.
INSTRUCTIONS TO ASSEMBLE - UPRIGHT CONSTRUCTION (see pictures below)
- Draw the curved wall shape that you want on the floor.
- Assemble the length of track required onto this curve.
- Hammer Lock the tabs onto the lapping track holes.
- Make the top plate similarly and reverse it end for end.
- Fix the HAMMER LOCK PLATES onto the floor.
- Fix the top plate either to the ceiling or other fixings.
- Put timber or steel studs into place and fix to the track.
INSTRUCTIONS TO ASSEMBLE - ON FLOOR CONSTRUCTION
(This is an alternative methode)
Make up the wall in its flat form while the HAMMER LOCK PLATES are simply linked together, and with the tabs half bent over. Then you can lift the wall up and curve it to the shape required. Lock the track in place with a hammer onto the bottom plate tabs, and the top plate tabs can be fixed down with a block and hammer, or with pliers.
