Round tube ferrules are parts which can be adapted to different uses, and which offer many advantages for the pipe structures to which they are applied. In addition, they can be made in a variety of heights, diameters and shapes. They also allow different types of finishes, as well as the addition of a wide range of colours, as you can see in our catalogue.
At FORTAPS, we will explain a little more about these parts for you so that you understand better how they work.
What can ferrules do for you?
Ferrules are small parts, but which have important functions within their own context. To such an extent that, without them, the round tubes that house them often cannot properly perform their functions.
Do you want to know more about their applications? We’ll tell you all about it later.
Protection of surfaces
It’s easy to see that the normal use of furniture involves continuous dragging on or digging into the floors of our homes. Think about it, when you sit down to eat and move closer to the table or sit in an armchair… Isn’t it true that damage often occurs to the floor?
In addition, there are materials that are particularly sensitive to deterioration, for which a simple movement can cause damage that is very difficult to repair. This is the case with parquet, ceramic or carpeted floors.
Don’t fret, ferrules are suitable to protect your floors.
Noise neutralsiing elements
Very much in line with their use to protect surfaces, they also serve to insulate against the possibility of noise.
As we already pointed out, moving furniture can cause damage, but also other types of annoyance. Accompanying the dragging and the movements, there is often an unpleasant noise that use of the ferrules can cancel out.
For all these reasons, ferrules are items that can contribute significantly to maintaining and improving wellbeing in your home. But they are not solely limited to this setting.
The use of round tube ferrules is a very important option for the business establishments that are part of the HORECA chain. Hotels, restaurants and cafes are spaces which bring together a large number of people. And it is logical to try to seek the comfort of all customers and guests.
This comfort is achieved not only through proper care from the staff of these establishments. It is also advisable to take all the necessary measures in advance to create an atmosphere of comfort, which will make guests feel at home upon their arrival. In this scenario, avoiding noise and damage is a major issue.
Decorative purpose
Believe it or not, round tube ferrules can surprise you by having more applications.
In this example, and once again, also within the framework of your home, a hotel or in accommodation establishments. In both cases, in addition to comfort, aesthetics and a careful design are points that are appreciated. We all like to have a nice home, and as far as the hotel business is concerned, image is a fundamental ingredient for its success.
The contribution of the ferrules is much greater than it might seem given their size. Because one contributes to the aesthetics of a place in different ways, directly and indirectly.
Directly, they function as a finishing element or different types of furniture and structures, providing harmony to it as a whole. Indirectly, its uses as a preservation device for floor surfaces help to maintain its appearance.
Sealing (interior and exterior protection)
Like round tube endings, ferrules fulfil a valuable protective function, or as a barrier for containment and stoppage. On the one hand, they prevent any substance contained in the pipe from escaping from it. And, on the other hand, they cancel out the possibility of anything penetrating from the outside (dirt, humidity, etc.).
Safety materials
Its high clamping capacity provides extra strength to chairs, tables or other structures whose support they provide. That’s why ferrules can become your most appreciated items when looking for a way to create grip and firmness.
They’re a great help for the prevention of slips, trips and falls.
Round tube ferrules can be external or internal. And in both forms, they serve certain purposes. At FORTAPS, we can provide you with a complete service: consultation and product.
