GS Glide Shoe is a purpose-designed solution engineered to accommodate horizontal movement at the truss bearing point without compromising the structural stability of the truss. Ideal for securing raised tie or scissor trusses to the wall plate, this high-performance bracket continues to provide resistance to lateral and uplift forces while allowing for controlled deflection. Manufactured from galvanised steel to BS EN 10346:2009 +G275 standards, the GS Glide Shoe ensures long-term durability and reliability in timber roof constructions. Stainless steel options are also available to order for enhanced corrosion resistance.
