This guide is for builders, renovators, and insulation installers who need a reliable method for anchoring insulation to concrete and masonry. The key benefit is a secure, durable fix that ensures insulation stays in place, with a crucial caveat: the fixing head *must* be taped and sealed post-installation to prevent surface damage from wet plaster. This 8 x 250mm fixing system features an all-metal construction with a large 35mm diameter head and a galvanised finish for corrosion resistance, accommodating fixtures up to 200mm thick.

Its primary purpose is to securely anchor insulation materials to concrete, brick, and block substrates, commonly used in building and renovation projects.
The head must be taped and sealed to prevent any contact with wet plaster. Failure to do so can result in surface damage or staining.
The fixing can accommodate a maximum fixture thickness of up to 200mm, making it suitable for various insulation depths.
The galvanised finish provides corrosion resistance in clean, dry, low humidity environments. For persistently damp or highly corrosive conditions, these fixings may not be suitable, and alternative materials should be considered.
This marker helps ensure the fixing is installed to the correct depth within the substrate, which is crucial for achieving a reliable and strong hold.
They are suitable for concrete, brick, and block substrates. Ensure the substrate is sound and capable of supporting the insulation.
The fixing has a large 35mm diameter head, which provides a secure bearing surface for the insulation material.
Ensure the drill hole is clean, of the correct diameter, and the minimum embedment depth of 60mm has been reached. Verify the substrate material is suitable (concrete, brick, block).
This is likely due to contact with wet plaster. Ensure the head is *always* taped and sealed immediately after installation in applications involving plaster.
Check that the pre-drilled hole is clear of debris and is the correct size for the 8mm fixing. Ensure the substrate is not excessively hard or contains obstructions.
The galvanised finish is for clean, dry environments. If used in damp or more corrosive conditions, or if the seal has failed, corrosion may occur. Consider alternative fixings for such environments or ensure a robust sealing method is used.
