Substrate fixings

Designed to fix substrates securely in a façade system, our range of substrate anchors and fasteners are manufactured to ISO 9001 quality management standards, and meet relevant standards for performance.

Approved for use in both cracked and non-cracked concrete, our range of substrate anchors are designed to achieve exceptional loads with fewer anchors. With a variable working life, guidance covers the use of anchors used in different applications – including wet conditions and outdoor areas.

Assuring you of the structural integrity of your rainscreen, regardless of the application.

Metal expanding anchors

APX & APA4 steel expanding anchors for fixing façade brackets to cracked and non-cracked concrete – with a tried and tested expansion clip to ensure the highest load bearing capacity, reducing the number of fixings required.

All anchors are Opt.1 ETA assessed for maximum reliability.

Steel Grades

Carbon or zinc-plated steel

Carbon steel is suitable for use in internal or external applications in non-corrosive, non-coastal environments.

All our carbon steel fasteners feature a corrosion-resistant organic coating which provides lubrication for ease of drilling while also preventing damage to the steel.

Stainless Steel A2/304

Our A2/304 Stainless Steel fasteners provide excellent corrosion resistance and are suitable for use in medium risk corrosivity environments, or on projects using Aluminium sheeting or components.

Stainless Steel A4/316

A4/316 Stainless Steel is a super-austenitic alloy containing high levels of molybdenum, nitrogen and nickel – ensuring it is highly resistant to corrosion, tarnishing and stress.
