They help reduce movement at unrestrained edges and provide additional stability against forces such as wind uplift, foot traffic and vibration.\n\nEach Link Pad features one adhesive side and one reinforced side. To install, simply remove the release tape and place the pad onto the support pad with the adhesive side facing upwards before laying the Promenade Slabs.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImproved Stability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nWhen positioned correctly, the Link Pad connects four adjoining slabs at their corners, helping hold the paving layout together and reducing the likelihood of individual slabs moving.\n\nTesting showed that the Link Pad increased resistance to vertical uplift to up to 10 times the slab's self-weight and increased resistance to horizontal movement by up to 20 times. This makes it a useful accessory for installations where additional restraint is required without permanently bonding the slabs together.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy Access for Future Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nOne of the key advantages of the Link Pad system is that the slabs can still be removed when access to the surface below is required. If one or more slabs need to be lifted at a later date, the connection can be broken by carefully cutting around the relevant slab with a knife.\n\nOnce the slab has been removed and the work is complete, the cut Link Pads can simply be replaced with new pads before the slab is reinstated. This provides additional stability while retaining practical access for inspection, repairs and maintenance.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWhat are Promenade Tile Link Pads used for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\nThey are designed to connect adjoining Promenade Slabs at their corners, helping reduce movement caused by wind uplift, foot traffic, vibration and other forces, particularly where the paving has no edge restraint.\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow are the Link Pads installed?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\nRemove the release tape from the self-adhesive side and place the Link Pad onto the support pad with the adhesive side facing upwards. The Promenade Slabs can then be laid over the pads, linking adjoining slabs together.\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan the slabs still be removed after using Link Pads?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\nYes. If access is required beneath one or more slabs, the connection can be carefully cut around the relevant slab using a knife. Once the slab is ready to be replaced, new Link Pads can be fitted to restore the connection.","brand":"Castle Composites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55111833878870,"sku":"15030","price":0.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/castle-composites-promanade-tile-link-pads-9779002.jpg?v=1787908237","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/castle-composites-promanade-tile-link-pads","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
