Metal Insulation Support Fixings – Steel – Residential & Commercial Insulation

Product Overview

These Industrial Grade Metal Insulation Support Fixings are equipped with an 8mm shank diameter and 170mm length, perfect for securing insulation boards, panels, and lightweight facings to masonry or concrete substrates. They offer a reliable mechanical hold in both solid and hollow materials.

Manufactured from corrosion-resistant zinc-plated steel, these fixings ensure long-term stability in internal and sheltered external applications. The integrated washer head offers broad load distribution, preventing damage or compression to insulation surfaces. Featuring a precision-formed expansion zone, they deliver consistent grip strength across variable substrate densities.

Features & Benefits

• Strong mechanical anchoring: Secure, load-bearing attachment for insulation materials on masonry and concrete surfaces.
• Corrosion-resistant construction: Zinc-plated steel resists rust, maintaining integrity in damp environments.
• Integrated washer head: Distributes pressure evenly, preventing surface crushing.
• Controlled expansion design: Ensures tight engagement in drilled holes.
• Thermal stability: Maintains grip under varying temperatures.

Applications

• External wall insulation: Fasten insulation boards to solid brick, block, or concrete substrates.
• Internal dry-lining systems: Retain thermal or acoustic insulation behind wall linings.
• Ceiling and soffit insulation: Secure overhead insulation panels.
• Service duct and void insulation: Durable fixing for insulation around building service routes.

Installation Guidance

• Drill preparation: Use an 8mm masonry bit to the full 170mm depth.
• Hole cleaning: Remove dust and debris for full expansion.
• Fixing insertion: Insert the metal anchor through the insulation and tap gently until flush.
• Expansion setting: Drive the central pin or screw to activate the expansion.

FAQs

• Q: Can these be used in outdoor environments?
  A: Yes, they are suitable for sheltered external applications due to their corrosion-resistant properties.
• Q: What is the maximum insulation thickness these fixings can handle?
  A: They are designed for thick and deep-layer insulation boards.
• Q: Do I need special tools for installation?
  A: A standard 8mm masonry drill bit and hammer are sufficient for installation.
