If no wall is available or it is
uneven the E-Track may be
attached to an aluminium X-Post.
The system can then stand on the
floor and avoid many obstructions
allowing the system to be installed
accurately in a wide variety of
environments old and new.
The simple interchangeability
of the components encourages
either day-to-day rearrangement
or complete reconfiguration
according to changing needs.

Loading
Solid wall
Made of masonry, brick or concrete,
it sounds true and solid when you
tap it with your knuckle. Its ideal.
Rigid floor
When you jump on it, it does not
flex. Without a carpet, its the best;
with a carpet, it is less good.
Plasterboard wall
If it sounds hollow and consistently
crisp wherever you tap, it is most
likely to be 12.5mm plasterboard
on timber or metal studs. Using
the best modern cavity fixings a
plasterboard wall will accept most
domestic loads. Our system is
installed on such walls daily.
Flexible floor
When you jump on it, it flexes or
creaks. If you intend to use the
floor, this is not ideal. A thick carpet
with underlay will not help the
load-bearing capacity of this floor.
Lath-and-plaster wall
If the wall sounds hollow and
somewhat inconsistent over the
slightly undulating surface (run your
hand over it), you may have the
least good wall timber laths with
ageing plaster. Almost certainly,
you will need to rely on the floor
to achieve a desirable loading
(see pages 8 9).
Solid ceiling
A steel beam or concrete ideal.
Ceilings
Plaster/plasterboard ceiling
A continuous plaster or plasterboard
ceiling can be used, preferably in
conjunction with a rigid floor.
Other ceiling
A discontinuous suspended ceiling
comprising tiles or similar is far
from ideal. It may only be used
after a ceiling contractor undertakes
reinforcing work.

If loading is to exceed

walls or other soft-surface walls,
never allow the bottom shelf to
be level with the bottom of
the E-Track as this may cause the
wall surface to fail locally.

If the semi-wall mounted X-Post
length exceeds 300 cm, it is
necessary to use three wall brackets
per X-Post and three cross rails (5cm
high) per pair of X-Posts. Maximum
overall height for semi-wall mounted
is 350 cm.

Skirting/beading depth
If your skirting (and/or beading) is
up to 3cm deep, you can use the
short wall bracket (adjustable from
6 cm to 7 cm depth).
If your skirting (and/or beading) is
3 cm to 7 cm deep, you should use
the long wall bracket (10cm to 11cm
depth).
If your skirting (and/or beading)
is deeper than 7 cm, please give
us the measurement and ask for
extended wall-bracket barrels.

When the compressed X-Post
length exceeds 300 cm, it is
necessary to use three cross

5 cm high rails with a single
17.5 cm high rail at one quarter
height, see separate price list,
