Sealants, fixings and screws

Choose by type of fixing

• Detachable mechanical joint → hex bolts, Pozidriv screws, nuts, and threaded rods.
• Construction anchor → fixing plugs, metal anchors, chemical anchors, and solutions for awnings.
• Light suspension → S-hooks, ceiling hooks, open eye bolts, closed eye bolts, and picture hooks.
• Mesh or enclosure fixing → clips, fencing staples, pins, and exterior fixings for posts or compatible supports.
• Permanent joint in sheet metal or profile → rivets and rivet guns for quick threadless assembly.

Variables that change the choice

• Metric and diameter: must match the part, nut, plug, rod, or mounting accessory.
• Effective length: total length is not enough; the thickness of the part and the effective fixing depth matter.
• Base material: a plug for concrete does not perform the same as a fixing on hollow brick, wood, sheet metal, or enclosure.
• Environment: for outdoors, humidity, or exposed areas, it is advisable to prioritize finishes with better corrosion protection.
• Type of stress: suspension, tightening, vibration, or lateral load influence the appropriate fixing system.

Avoid common assembly failures

• Do not choose an anchor without checking the support, expected load, and minimum insertion depth.
• Do not mix screws, nuts, or rods if the metric and thread pitch do not match.
• Do not use light fixings for suspended loads, awnings, structures, or elements subject to vibration.
• Do not install exterior fixings without assessing oxidation, humidity, sun exposure, or contact with other metals.
• Do not buy rivets without checking the diameter, grip length, and total thickness of the parts to be joined.
