The Triax system is a revolutionary coupling system that allows two pipes to be joined at any angle. Just think about the possibilities and flexibility that creates!
At Triax Systems we believe passionately in our product. We saw a need for it, we developed it and now we’re committed to supporting you every time you use it.
Tension membrane or steel clad, simple or complex, large or small… no matter the project, Triax products can help you streamline every step of the way – reducing costs, eliminating problems and producing a better quality finished product.
Elegant Shade Design
Creating waterproof external shade structure presents different challenges whether you’re an owner builder, shade installer or architect.
The Triax system uses high pressure die cast aluminium fittings combined with light weight tubing. The cast fittings result in a seamless transition between the structural steel frame members. The end result is a simple and elegant frame that complements the architectural membrane.
Simple Shade Construction
Triax provides a simpler and flexible solution by eliminating many of the costs and difficulties encountered when designing a traditional, welded frame structure.
It is easy to use and gives you – the designer or installer – the freedom to create individual designs and adapt to site challenges.
What is the Triax system
Put simply, Triax is a light construction system based around a bracket that allows two pipes to be joined at any angle, on site, without welding.
An innovative, unique design of coupling it transforms the installation of waterproof shade by allowing two pipes to be joined at any angle.
The heart of the system is our original multipurpose T50 bracket for use with standard 60.3mm (50NB) steel tube. Two T50s placed back to back form a joint which is free to rotate in three axes and be permanently fixed in any position. A full range of components are available to complement and expand on this original innovation, offering a complete solution to create a highly refined and professional final product.
Allowing structural members to be permanently joined at any angle, on site, without welding, Triax structures can be custom tailored and built with exacting precision in a fraction of the time and with none of the hassle of a fully welded or prefabricated structure. With our easy guidelines, anyone can design a robust custom structure ready to be wind rated and certified.
The first waterproof shade cover using the Triax coupling system was installed 15+years ago. Since then the word has spread and many now understand the benefits offered by this unique and exciting new product. Like all great innovations it offers simplicity, flexibility and is transforming what has often been a difficult and frustrating installation process into an easy, cost effective one, whilst offering great value to your customers.
