What Are Masonry Screws Used For?
Masonry fixings are designed for securely fixing materials directly to masonry surfaces. Their ability to provide a strong fixing while remaining removable makes them suitable for both permanent and temporary installations.
When installed correctly, masonry screws provide a dependable fixing into concrete, solid brick and other suitable masonry materials.
How Masonry Fixings Work
Unlike traditional masonry fixings that rely on expansion, masonry screws feature a hardened thread that cuts directly into the sides of a pre-drilled hole.
Installation typically involves:
- Drilling the correct diameter hole.
- Removing dust and debris from the hole.
- Driving the masonry screw into place using the appropriate driver.
- Tightening until the fixture is securely fixed.
Following the recommended drill size and embedment depth is essential.
