Using the Schöck dowel type SLD the support for a ceiling slab can be built without lintels and corbels. As the Schöck element is made of high grade stainless steel, it can not corrode. The low friction and high abrasion resistance of the material insure that movement in the joint is permanently possible. Maintenance of the joint is not required. The load bearing capacity is guaranteed at all times. The dowel has been tested and certified by the German Institute for Construction Technology (DIBt) to insure the maximum level of safety. The optional fire protection collar allows for a F90 fire rating of the connection. The Schöck dowel type SLD offers unlimited possibilities to the designer and reduces the potential for errors in the design and during construction.
