Fixings & Anchors

Wallbarn offers a number of fixings and anchors suitable for a variety of uses. These robust and durable products are designed to help installers create solid fixings when applying sheet material to the horizontal or vertical surface. They are suitable for fixing insulation boards, plasterboard, ply and plastic sheet membranes to timber and masonry.

The Fixing & Anchor pins comprise a polypropylene sleeve or sheath with an integrated circular flange / washer around the top. There is a separate pin also made from plastic which is driven into the sheath to penetrate the structure.

Wallbarn offers three ranges, the “D” Range, the D Plus range” and the “D H Range”. Each range has different strength and anchoring specifications; which means different codes can be used for different applications. Users should review the technical data given below to be assured the product chosen matches and exceeds the anchoring strength and depth required for the project.

When fixing insulation boards to vertical plane it is recommended that a quantity of 8-12 pieces per m² are installed.

“D” Range

This is the standard anchor fixing product offered by Wallbarn. It is designed to hammer into the structure.

It comprises a plastic sleeve or sheath with a circular flange / washer around the top. There is a separate pin also made from plastic which is driven into the sheath to create the fixing.

Sleeve diameter is 10mm. It is sold in full box quantities of 250 pieces.

Tension load in concrete (NRk, ETAG 014) 0.25kN, anchoring depth min. 40mm.
Tension load in solid brick (NRk, ETAG 014) 0.25kN, anchoring depth min. 50mm.
Tension load in hollow or perforated masonry (NRk, ETAG 014) 0.15kN, anchoring depth min. 50mm.

“D Plus” Range

This fixing is stronger than the D range. It is also designed for hammering into the structure.

The fixing is again made from plastic but is designed to have a greater tension load when fastened into the surface.

The sleeve diameter is also 10mm. This product is sold in full box quantities of 200 pieces per box (apart from the 220mm long nails, which contains 100 pieces per box).

Tension load in concrete (NRk, ETAG 014) 0.6kN, anchoring depth min. 50mm.
Tension load in solid brick (NRk, ETAG 014) 0.4kN, anchoring depth min. 50mm.
Tension load in hollow or perforated masonry (NRk, ETAG 014) 0.3kN, anchoring depth min. 50mm.

“D H Range”

These fixings are designed for installations where a far greater tension load is required. The sheath and sleeve is made from polymide plastic but the nail is rust-proof metal with an integrated polymide cap.

The D H fixings is designed to be screwed into the structure. This will give a much firmer fixing on the vertical or horizontal plane

The sleeve diameter 8mm. This D H Range is sold in full box quantities of 200 pieces per box.

Tension load in concrete (NRk, ETAG 014) 0.4kN, anchoring depth min. 40mm
Tension load in solid brick (NRk, ETAG 014) 0.4kN, anchoring depth min. 50mm

ACCESSORIES FOR THE D H RANGE

Cap Fittings / Flange

A cover piece is also available for use with all three ranges above, a simple cover cop with surrounding flange, to dress the fixing area if required.

They are made from Impact Resistant Polypropylene and are sold in full boxes of 100 pieces.

Caps & Plugs

Wallbarn also sells polystyrene caps and plugs, for where installers need to fill any cavity to prevent water collection or to ensure complete and overall thermal protection.
Where installers are drilling the cap piece of the fixing anchor through insulation boards, for example, they can fit the circular cap into the cavity.

If they are drilling the fixing anchor into place so that it is flush with the exterior surface but the metal nail fixing enters further, the cavity can be plugged easily with the dowel shaped cap.
