Hook-on-Track & Plate Set – What are they?
In short this is what you would use to hang your PVC strips to your required spot.
What size plate set shall I use?
There are 4 sizes for your plate sets which are 100, 200, 300, 400, the general rule that is used in the industry is depending on the width of your PVC strip you would use the corresponding size in the plate sets for example if you had 200 x 2 PVC you would use a plate set size of 200. The hook-on track has been designed so that they can take all widths of PVC and doesn’t need to differ.
Why use Hook-on-Track and plate sets?
Hook on track is the most popular mounting system for hanging PVC strips and there’s plenty of good reasons for that; they are easy to replace and need little to no maintenance, they can be fixed to either wall or door frame, suitable for internal and external doors and is prebuilt to cover all overlapping combinations to ensure the desire level of thermal noise, dust, or air stream insulation.
Quick mount
Quick mount is a new mounting system that offers fast and efficient installation as opposed to the traditional hook-on track and plate set this allows for you to hook the PVC directly on to the system without having a plate set. You will still need to have holes on the PVC which are different from the rivet holes from the traditional sense, these holes are made with the quick mount holepunch. Quickmount is becoming more popular due to it being 10 times faster than traditional mounting system, without tools or bolts and allows for all possible overlapping
Rivets – What is a rivet?
Rivets are what holds the plate set and the PVC together. In total 3 rivets are required, one on each side (left and right) and one in the centre they only come in one size so don’t worry about if it will fit or not – if you need more information, please check out our how to guide on fitting PVC strips which gives a full in depth description of the process.
