Chemical Fixings

When your job demands high load performance in masonry or concrete, chemical fixings provide a strong and dependable solution. Designed for the trade, these fixings offer exceptional holding power where mechanical fixings alone may not be suitable.

Chemical fixings use a resin-based compound to bond threaded rods, studs or fixings directly into drilled holes in concrete, brick or stone. Once cured, the resin creates a solid anchor with excellent load distribution, making chemical fixings ideal for heavy-duty applications and safety-critical installations.

Commonly used by builders, installers and engineers, chemical fixings are suitable for fixing balustrades, handrails, structural steelwork, racking systems and other high-load fixtures. They’re especially useful where edge distances are limited or where substrates may be weaker or cracked, as the resin helps spread the load more evenly.

Our range of chemical fixings includes options suitable for a variety of conditions, including internal and external use. Many products are designed to perform in damp holes or challenging environments, depending on specification, helping you achieve reliable results on site.

For strength, flexibility and confidence in demanding fixings, chemical fixings are a trusted choice. Keep your van stocked and be ready for heavy-duty anchoring tasks with fixings you can rely on.
