The Flexi-Level Cradle is a simple and functional Joist Support, with levelling, which can be used to provide a mounting system for floors and decking. The small footprint assists installation in areas with restricted space.
The new Flexi-Level Decking and Flooring Support Cradle System has been especially developed to replace and to improve upon the original Rubbertech DC1 support cradle, which forged a position as an industry leader. The new Flexi-Level cradle offers the following advantages:
The adjustable cradles provide a fast and easy solution for levelling and supporting timber joists for flooring and decking on balconies, roof terraces and on any other firm surface. They are designed for use with standard 2" (44 to 48mm) wide timber joists, keeping them above the roof deck or base substrate and, importantly for exterior applications, above the drainage level of the roof or base.
The clip-in moulded base pad helps to spread and soften the impact of the imposed load. This also has acoustic properties and helps to reduce transmitted noise. The support cradles are simple to install and adjust to allow for falls and irregularities.
The support cradle is also designed for use on uneven and out of level floors. The unique design enables the soft sprung feel of a timber floor to be achieved over concrete sub bases. The cradle allows for fast installation by removing the need for levelling screeds and the slow drying times normally associated with cementitious type products.
The void created by the support cradles can provide useful space for insulation and can also be used for service runs of electrics, piping, etc.
The system is ideal for use in fast track building programs or conservatory floors.
This product is also useful for levelling garden sheds with 2" or smaller support beams underneath. An additional advantage is that the shed base is raised above the ground level thus improving ventilation and helping to prevent damp and wood rot.
