Anchoring
Anchoring products are used to secure brackets, supports and fixtures into concrete and masonry substrates. Selection depends on substrate type, load requirements and the approved installation method.
Gas Gun & Fixings
Gas gun fixings support fast-paced installation where speed and repeatable fixing are required, commonly used for attaching into concrete and structural materials in commercial fit-outs and services installation.
Rivets
Rivets are used for sheet material fastening and light to medium duty connections, particularly where access is limited to one side. Choose rivet type and size based on material thickness and application needs.
Screws
Screws are used across a wide range of construction fastening applications, including metal-to-metal and substrate fixing. Choose based on material type, thread design and corrosion exposure.
Threaded Fasteners
Threaded fasteners are commonly used for suspension and support assemblies, including cable tray supports and pipework hangers. Threaded rod (Booker Rod / allthread rod) is a key component for building services installations.
How to Choose the Right Fixing
Choosing the correct fastener or fixing typically depends on:
- Substrate: concrete, masonry, structural steel or hollow wall
- Load requirement: service weight and operating conditions
- Environment: indoor, outdoor, industrial or coastal exposure
- Installation method: hand fixing, anchoring, rivet setting, or gas tool fixing
For engineered supports, always follow project specifications and approved fixing methods.
Commonly Used With Support Systems
Fasteners and fixings are often used alongside strut channel and support components to form complete assemblies for building services:
- Beam Clamp for fastening to steel beams without welding or drilling
- Wedge Nut for strut channel connections
- Slotted Angle for bracing and framing
- Perforated Cable Tray for cable containment support assemblies
- Threaded Rod (Booker Rod / Allthread Rod) for suspension and trapeze supports
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between fasteners and fixings?
Fasteners often refer to components such as screws, bolts, rivets and threaded rod, while fixings commonly include anchors and hardware used to attach items to a substrate such as concrete, masonry or hollow walls.
Which products are suitable for concrete and masonry?
Concrete and masonry applications typically require the correct anchoring solution based on substrate condition, load requirement and the approved installation method.
When should I use gas gun fixings?
Gas gun fixings are commonly used where installation speed and repeatable fixing are important. Product selection depends on the substrate and project requirements.
What is threaded rod used for?
Threaded rod (Booker Rod / allthread rod) is used for suspension supports, including cable tray supports and pipework hangers, often combined with strut channel fittings.
