What is a Laplock?
A Laplock is a fixing with a rubber sleeve, This version comes with a RED Seala Washer and Cap, it is designed for corrugated profile GRP such as Iron Profile, Profile 3 and Profile 6.
Why do I need to use a Laplock?
It allows for expansion and contraction, if you used a metal fitting such as stitchers, this would crack the GRP sheet around the fixing.
How are they installed?
You pre-drill the sheet with a 7mm hole, you then put the Laplock into the hole and tighten the 8mm head, this will expand the rubber sleeve to close and watertight the hole.
Why do these have a red cap?
Red caps are required for building regulations; however it is always best practice to use red caps with a rooflight anyway, it makes the roof more secure and marks where a rooflight is if the roof gets covered.
What else do I need?
You may need an 11mm Bi Hex drill socket if you do not already, this is how you tighten the fixing
