FAQs
What materials can these fixings be used with?
These fixings are suitable for use with most masonry substrates, including concrete and brickwork.
Do I need to pre-drill a hole?

What size fixing should I use?
The size depends on the thickness of the material being fixed and the load it will bear. Consult a professional or the product specifications for appropriate sizing.
