DISCOVER ZIP‑CLIP SOLUTIONS
Product Application
Cold storage and controlled-environment buildings demand absolute reliability. With extreme temperature changes, heavy services and strict hygiene requirements, fixing systems must remain stable, safe and easy to inspect over time.
For insulated cold rooms using panel systems, Zip-Clip wire rope suspension was selected to support mechanical and electrical services – providing a fast, adjustable and fully tested alternative to threaded rod.
THE CHALLENGE
In modern cold rooms, installers face three major problems:
- Thermal movement – panels expand and contract as temperatures change Congested ceilings – large numbers of pipe, duct and cable drops
- Installation time pressure – projects need to be built quickly and accurately
- Traditional threaded rod systems are slow to install, difficult to adjust and create alignment issues when panel movement occurs.
THE SOLUTION
Zip-Clip wire rope suspension has been specified to support services suspended from insulated ceiling panels.
The system allowed installers to:
● Pre-cut wire rope to length
● Lock off instantly using Zip-Clip KL devices Precisely level multiple drops in seconds Maintain load performance even as the structure moves
● Zip-Clip was installed directly into the ceiling system using tested fixings, providing a lightweight yet extremely strong support solution.
WHY ZIP-CLIP
Zip-Clip were chosen because it offered:
● Fast installation – up to 6x quicker than threaded rod
● Precise alignment – millimetre-accurate height adjustment
● Clean, hygienic finish – ideal for food and pharma cold rooms
● High load capacity – tested and approved for cold room systems
● Future-proofing – easy re-levelling if layouts change
TESTING & COMPLIANCE
Zip-Clip wire rope suspension used with Kingspan Ultratemp panels has been independently tested by CRH and Acronem to ensure:
● Safe working loads
● Pull-out resistance
● Performance under real-world conditions
This gives specifiers, contractors and building owners confidence that the system performs in high-risk environments such as cold storage, food processing and pharmaceutical facilities.
THE RESULT
The installation delivered:
● A clean, organised ceiling layout
● Faster install times
● Reduced labour costs
● Long-term reliability despite temperature fluctuations
Zip-Clip provided a suspension system that matched the performance of the insulated panel system it was attached to.
