Description
This sphere anti-skate stud is manufactured from 316L stainless steel and has a machine-polished finish. It is designed to sit directly on the corner of walls, planters or street furniture, blending neatly into the surrounding architecture.
The Sphere Anti-Skate Stud provides a compact skate deterrent by interrupting the continuous edges skaters need to grind or slide, helping to protect walls, furniture and other architectural surfaces from damage.
Material Information
This stud is manufactured from high-quality 316L stainless steel for long-term external use. The material provides excellent corrosion resistance and is particularly well suited to demanding outdoor environments where the stud may be exposed to rain, snow, moisture and other weather conditions.
Design
The stud has a ball-shaped design that, once installed, appears to perch on the corner of a wall, bench, step or other surface.
Its compact, self-contained shape covers the vulnerable edge of the surface and interrupts the continuous line required for grinding. The Sphere is particularly suitable where a relatively localised deterrent is required rather than the wider coverage provided by larger anti-skate stud designs.
For help determining whether the Sphere is suitable for a particular wall or edge profile, see
How do I choose the right anti-skate stud?
Application
The Sphere Anti-Skate Stud can be installed on a range of
surfaces suitable for anti-skate studs, including:
- Walls
- Benches
- Steps
- Planters
- Street furniture
The suitability of the stud will depend on the material, condition, edge profile and available fixing depth of the surface. See
What measurements do I need for anti-skate studs? for more information before specifying or ordering.
Installation
The Sphere Anti-Skate Stud is typically installed by:
- Drilling the required fixing hole into the designated surface.
- Clearing the hole of dust and debris.
- Applying epoxy resin into the fixing hole.
- Inserting the stud and allowing the resin to cure.
For detailed preparation and fixing instructions, see
How to use epoxy resin to install architectural studs.
Always follow the curing instructions supplied with the chosen resin before the installation is subjected to use or loading.
Installation equipment required: Drill, appropriate drill bit, push pump, epoxy resin and applicator gun.
