Spantec Systems
If you remember the days, like we do, when brick piers were the norm you’ll understand how far subfloor supports (stumps or piers) have come. And with the current shortage of timber products, we don’t want you to fall short of your project delivery for your customers!
Spantec Systems invented the whole concept of using a steel pier to replace a brick pier more than 20 years ago, and they have since expanded the capabilities of their products so that builders can choose to use them as components.
Building With Ezipier
Why choose Ezipier?
Applicable to both timber and steel subfloors, the Ezipier is designed to suit almost every landscape while maintaining their ability to save time during the installation process. We really couldn’t say it better than Dan Riley, “You can’t go wrong with Ezipier”.
True adjustability:Adjusting an Ezipier head is done by turning a nut not by removing bolts or tek screws.
Safe perimeter: Because Ezipier heads are designed for a flush finish there are no protruding components to hurt you when walking by.
Clear termite inspection point: Solid threaded rod – simple and easy to inspect, doesn’t interfere with cladding (note ant caps which can interfere with cladding are still only inspection points not “barriers”).
Base plate protector:The first pier system to provide a high capacity (5mm thick) composite protector to separate the base plate from the concrete footing for added protection against ponding of water.
Affordable flexibility & convenience:The range of Ezipier heads have been designed to suit standard post sizes to handle most residential loads of up to 5m heights and for ease of purchase from local merchants.
Protection: Now you have the option to choose posts with higher protection when required to suit site conditions such as coastal areas.
Non-combustible: Can be used in bushfire prone areas.
What are the different applications of Ezipier?
Spantex's Ezipier has many different applications. Given the products flexibility and true adjustability, you can use the product for almost any build!
