EWI Pro – Metal Hammer Fixing – 8mm

The EWI Pro – Metal Hammer Fixing is a versatile fixing suitable for use in all types of substrates. It boasts an 8mm diameter and a concise anchoring zone (ABCD: 25mm, E: 45mm), resulting in superior strength characteristics and a notably quicker installation process.

Intended Uses

The EWI Pro – Metal Hammer Fixings are used to fix insulation boards to substrates ABCDE and feature a plastic-coated metal pin, designed to inhibit the development of thermal bridges.

These mechanical fixings are suitable for concrete, brick and other blockwork. If in doubt about the suitability of the substrate, it is recommended a pull test is carried out to ensure it is strong enough to support an EWI system. The fixings can be used with EPS, XPS, and Mineral Wool insulation boards.
