Fixing material
How do I choose the right fixing material for my application? When choosing the right fixing material, it is important to consider the type of substrate, the weight of the objects to be fixed and the environmental conditions. For example, different fixing materials are suitable for concrete than for wood or plasterboard.
What is the difference between different fastening materials such as screws, plugs and nails? Screws are screwed into threaded holes, while plugs are inserted into pre-drilled holes and anchor themselves in the material. Nails, on the other hand, are usually hammered in and hold by friction and pressure.
How can I ensure that the fixing material is strong and secure? It is important that the fixing material is correctly sized and the correct installation technique is used. Before use, the load-bearing capacity of the material and the correct installation instructions should be observed to ensure that the fastening is strong and secure.
