Flip & fix

Flip the board over so the underside is on top.
Screwing the Roots fastening to the underside of the board.

START piece

The Roots fastenings provide an effective solution for detaching the boards from their supports and ventilating their underside.
The built-in separation device which acts as a ventilation shim reduces the risk of water being trapped, and also of the boards warping.

D4 PU glue

The plugs must be glued with a polyurethane (PU) wood glue D4 (NF EN 204).

Leave the plug to protrude 2 to 3 mm

For a perfect finish, with the plugs completely flush, leave the plug some 2 to 3 mm proud of the surface so it can be easily cut back.
The ideal drilling depth is 7 mm.

Cutting

To ensure the plug is completely flush with the surface of the structure, it must be cut with a hand saw (flexible blade with Japanese teeth) or a perfectly sharpened wood chisel. The cut must be made in the direction of the wood grain of the plug.

A perfect result

The quality of the insertion and the cut, as well as respect for the installation rules, ensure a perfect, durable result.

Only one hand needed

Manipulated and operated with one hand, suitable for right- and left-handed use.
Gradual, effortless tightening with the comfortable trigger.

Adjusted once and for all

Tool unlocked for removal with the front trigger.
The jaw spacing is adjusted and locked automatically for the entire job, saving considerable time and making it extremely easy to use.

Narrow boards

The NÖVLEK® board clamps can be used with narrow boards. In this case, a sacrificial shim is needed. It can be screwed to the jaw temporarily, with the two holes provided for this purpose.

Can be used with the DROP™ profile

A short bracket is available for use with boards having the DROP™ covering profile (from NÖVLEK®) or similar.

L’utilisation simultanée de plusieurs serres-lames améliore significativement l’efficacité, la qualité et la rapidité de pose.

Convient pour la pose de lames de bardage, aussi bien verticales qu’horizontales.

• Does not damage the edge of the boards, or the joists.
• Allows tightening and straightening up to the last board.
• Can be placed anywhere, alone or with several aligned side by side, when the situation requires it.
• No limit on its use:
  • even in the narrowest areas or close to an obstacle;
  • on the connections and spacers between joists;
  • whatever the height, width or material of the joists or beams;
  • regardless of whether the joists are covered by overhanging bituminous strips;
• Acts only on the board, without applying any force to the joist.
  There is no risk of displacing or distorting the joist.
• Keeps the finishing boards in place before they are screwed.

No marks on the wood

To ensure a perfect result, hold the depth stop between two fingers to stop it rotating and avoid any shavings which are between the end stop and the board being caught and marking the surface of the wood.
This ensures the shavings are completely removed during drilling.

Clean, burr-free cut

Splinter-free, clean result on all types of wood.

Impeccable finish

The stop adjustment ensures precise countersinking on the board surface so that the screw head fits perfectly.

Adjustment according to the job

The height of the drill can be adjusted, especially to modify the drilling depth to suit the timber being used. A board in an exotic species, laid onto a joist also in an exotic species, requires the joist and board to be drilled through for the full length of the screw. Where the same board is laid onto a joist in a resinous wood only the board needs to be drilled.

Keep the drill at an angle of 90° with respect to the surface being drilled.

The drill must be held fully perpendicular (at 90°) to the surface being drilled, throughout the drilling operation, to avoid breaking it.
The pressure applied to the drilling machine must also be applied in the axis of the drill bit and perpendicular to the surface being drilled.

Cylindrical, flat-bottomed hole

The step drill bit for plugs, exclusive to NÖVLEK®, is designed to drill a flat-bottomed cylindrical hole into which the plug will fit perfectly.
The blades ensure a sharp, splinter-free cut in all types of timber.

Perfectly designed shapes

The exclusive V profile, and the wide handle ensure that the NÖVLEK® spacer is easy to fit and remove.

Ready for all situations

If necessary, a tool such as a wood chisel can fit through the wide, open handle.

Exceptional strength

The exceptional strength of the handle means that significant force can be applied with no risk of breaking.

Designed to the last detail

The chamfered edge of the spacer allows a lever movement to be applied between the boards, in order to release a spacer easily.

Increased stability and lifespan

The multiplicity of channels on the surface ensure ventilation and effective water runoff. There is no risk of water retention between shim and joist, and between shim and ground. This significantly improves stability and durability of the joists.

Stackable and combinable with each other

The isolation shims stack and combine together to the height wanted or required by standards in force.

Screwing the shim on the underside of the joist

It is recommended to screw the shims under the structure, to prevent them from moving when the joists are being adjusted during laying, or subsequently over time. Guaranteed to save time.

Placement indicators

Ensure precise positioning and very speedy installation.

Cale de départ et de fin

The ventilation shims are supplied with start and end shims. Stainless steel screws are supplied to fix them to joists, so that they do not move when the first board is being adjusted.

Suitable for installation with screws or invisible fasteners.

The shims are suitable both for decking installed with conventional screws from above, or with invisible fasteners.

No matter what direction the joists are laid.

The shims are fitted on both the smaller or larger width of the joist.

Use as a wedge system

The shims stack and interlock to separate the joists from the ground or as a levelling shim.

Quick and easy to lay

Some widely-spaced staples or nails are sufficient to hold it in place, before the boards are laid.
The strip unrolls and aligns itself automatically on the supporting surface, thanks to its exceptional stiffness.

1.9mm for maximum shock-absorption

The composition of the strip and its 1.9 mm thickness give it outstanding absorbent and shock-absorbing qualities, ensuring unbeatable comfort.

Additional to the ventilation interface shim

The bituminous strip protects the joist, while the ventilation shim ensures the underside of the boards is ventilated by separating them from the joist. Both guarantee durability of the decking

The joist is no longer visible

The bituminous strip conceals the joist completely in the spaces between boards.
