High-quality Pre-greased Slip Joints Manufactured by Carlray

Every material extends or compresses because of change of temperature. When the weather is cool, the materials compress and vice versa. Slip-joints function as linear structures that make room for the extension and compression of the material. Carlray Australia is the quality manufacturer of slip-joints. We have been supplying superior quality of brick ties and slip-joints to builders and shelf hardware industry for many years.

Pr-greased slip-joints

Speciality of Carlray’s manufactured products is that it follows every criterion specified in the Australian Standards. The slip-joints that we manufacture are pre-greased and therefore it allows for room to move between the brickwork and the concrete slab. The grease reduces the friction between the two surfaces.

The pre-greased slip-joints that we manufacture use graphite grease. This is a common knowledge in the architecture industry that graphite and molybdenum disulfide are used as solid lubricants for providing protection under heavy loads.

Usage of graphite as the lubricant enhances the capability of the slip-joint to move smoothly even withstanding heavy loads of concrete and metal structures. Carlray pre-greased slip joints add two layers of metal-treated or Z275 galvanised steel slabs diversified by the layer of graphite grease. The pieces are then taped together.

Sizes of pre-greased slip-joints

The sizes of slip-joints manufactured by Carlray could easily cover the bricks and blocks of most of the industrially constructed pieces.

Single bricks of widths 90mm, 100mm, 110 mm, 150 mm, 230mm, 270 mm and 300 mm and lengths of 1800mm and 3000mm could be easily covered by the slip-joints manufactured by us. In contrast, the cavity V brick with the width of 270 mm and length of 1800 mm could be covered by the pre-greased slip-joints manufactured by Carlray Australia.

Australian Standards

Aim of most builders is to keep the cost overheads lower (as it is with all other types of businesses). Chinese made products have captured a major portion of the market with their products sold at lower prices than the products made by others. However, most of the Chinese made products are not manufactured keeping in mind the quality and safety measures specified in the document of Australian Standards.

When you build a home, certainly you would want it to be safe and durable. Only those products that follow the norms specified in the Australian Standards should be installed in buildings. Carlray products are manufactured keeping in place every norm dictated in the Australian Standards. We never compromise the quality of products to keep the prices lower. Carlray is a prestigious slip joint supplier in Australia. We also manufacture tailor-made pieces of slip joints based on client specifications.

Marine environment resistant products

NSW has a long south-eastern coastline. Prestigious cities of NSW are located by the sides of the extended coastline. People are awestruck to see the outstanding multi-stories and architectural marvels of Sydney, the capital city of NSW. Many such projects have utilised the products manufactured by Carlray. To withstand the saline environment of coastline regions, we manufacture Z950 galvanised steel that are suitable for non-surfing coastline areas within the range of 100 metres to 1 kilometre area. The R3 code material is manufactured for the regions along the surf coast in between 1 to 10 kilometres diameter.

We manufacture 316g stainless steel having superior quality of corrosion resistance. The products manufactured from this steel type are suitable for surf coast areas.
