DuraMet Cleats
DuraMet® Standard Cleat range is manufactured from high-grade A2/304 stainless steel. They are available in 0.4mm and 0.6mm gauge, depending on the contractor’s preference: however, on larger roofs, or those with a high wind loading, the thicker 0.6mm gauge should be used. The sliding component of the 0.6mm sliding cleats is 0.4mm gauge.
Standard cleats are available with a flat base with either pre-punched holes or pre-formed countersunk holes.
