The range we offer covers use in brickwork, stone, cement, plasterboard, and cavity walls or ceilings.
What types of wall plugs, anchors and fixings are available?
- Masonry plugs, anchors and fixings are for use in brick, stone, cement and block walls, and cover a wide range of fixing/fastener types such as expansion anchor bolts, wall plugs and concrete screws. Heavy-duty features may include galvanised or corrosion-resistant coatings, anti-rotation fins, and hardened steel tapping threads.
- Cavity fixing kits are used in cavity walls and ceilings. They can include bolts, anchors, screws, plugs and inserts, all designed for secure fastening to interior vertical/horizontal surface materials like plasterboard and hardboard.
- Chemical fixings are also referred to as chemical anchors, and provide high-strength, heavy-duty anchorage for (predominantly exterior) surfaces such as masonry and concrete. A fast-cure resin adhesive is inserted into drilled holes, then a steel bolt or anchor is driven into place prior to curing.
- Frame fixings can be used in concrete, hollow block, masonry, brick, metal or wood, and they aim to provide a more rigid anchor via a long, heavy-duty cross recess screw which sits in an expanding nylon wall plug (also known as a Rawl plug). They’re especially suited to mounting UPVC door and window frames.
- Masonry fixing kits typically contain numerous hammer-in or drill-driven components and fasteners for a range of surfaces, including stone and plasterboard. They combine multiple types of screws, anchors, Rawl plugs and nails in a handy storage box, perfect for applications like thermal insulation support, conduit clips, skirting boards and trunking.
- Plasterboard/cavity anchors and fixings include hollow wall plugs, plasterboard ceiling anchors, and wall-mount spring toggles for gripping behind surfaces. Heavier-duty metal versions are ideal for radiators and handrails, while plastic anchors are suitable for most light fittings, paintings and noticeboards.
