Restraint Strap Twist

The RST is a high performance strap which can be used to resist uplift.

  • Suitable for use with trusses
  • Unique geometry allows a fixing on two planes without the clash issues of standard twist straps
  • Achieves greater tensile capacity before reducing centres enabling us to outperform competitors’ solutions
