Choosing the Right Fixing

Using the correct fixing matters more than most people think. Timber, masonry, plasterboard and steel all require different fixing types, and using the wrong one can lead to loose connections or failure over time.

As a general rule:

  • Wood screws and coach screws are used for timber connections.
  • Concrete screws and rawl bolts are designed for masonry and concrete.
  • Drywall screws are used specifically for plasterboard.
  • Structural fixings and hangers support load-bearing timber connections.

If you’re unsure which fixing is best for a particular job, speak to the team before ordering.

FAQ’s:

What fixings should I use for timber framing?

Structural screws, coach screws and joist hangers are commonly used for timber framing and load-bearing connections.

Can these fixings be used externally?

Many fixings are galvanised or coated for outdoor use, but it’s always worth checking before installing in exposed conditions.

Do you stock masonry fixings?

Yes. Concrete screws, rawl bolts and frame fixings are commonly used for securing timber, steel and frames into masonry or concrete.

Are plasterboard fixings different from standard screws?

Yes. Drywall screws are specifically designed for plasterboard and help prevent tearing or cracking of the board.
