TIMCO Metal Insulation Disc 35mm - Box of 100 - Zinc

Product Information

The external insulation panel has its own weight, which is transferred through shearing forces directly onto the wall. Most times, the mortar is the only connection of the wall with external insulation. Floor Insulation: In some cases, these discs can be used for floor insulation purposes. They can secure insulation material between floor joists, ensuring it remains effective and doesn't move. Insulated plasterboard fixings include hollow wall anchors and cavity fixings. The former secures plasterboard tightly to the wall, while the latter is designed for heavy loads. Alternatively, insulation screws, such as drywall screws, can be used to fit plasterboard into wood and steel studding. Insulation fixings and screws are vital for ensuring each type of insulation is secured properly. Using the correct hardware will make sure everything from plasterboard to multifoil stays in place and doesn’t get damaged.

Featuring a firm grip design that will not move on the wall tie; retaining discs are clipped onto wall ties either before building in or in situ. Construction Projects: In new construction projects, these discs can be used during the installation of insulation to ensure it stays in place, providing effective thermal insulation from the outset.This cookie, set by YouTube, registers a unique ID to store data on what videos from YouTube the user has seen. The purpose of insulating a building is to maximise its thermal benefit. The majority of insulation-fastening plugs are of plastic or nylon composition and are poor conductors of heat.

The Timloc 80mm Cavity Insulation Retaining Disc / Clips (Red) are manufactured to BS EN ISO 9001:2008 standards, ensuring high quality and reliability. They also meet all relevant building regulations and British standards, providing peace of mind that they are suitable for use in construction projects. Equivalent/Related Products

Properties

Several fastening systems are set up such that upon installation, the head sits in a shallow recess, slightly beneath the surface of the insulating material. It is common for pragmatic designers to specify an insulation fastening system that combines the attributes of both plastic fixings and steel anchors. In external wall insulation systems for low-rise buildings, the designer may prescribe the use of the more thermally efficient plastic fasteners, supplemented by using fire-safe mechanical fixing per board. Select the Appropriate Type of Non-Combustible Mechanical Fixings For insulation fixings, where you use only a hammer. Friulsider CTP Insulation Fixings. Suitable for use in wood. The stainless steel Insofast ISF18 is a similar fixing that includes an 18mm head. It is perfect for fixing plywood or OSB faced insulation sheets to rafters in warm flat roof appli­cations. The ISF18 is also available in zinc-plated steel. Non-combustible fixings for fastening insulation to concrete soffits The upside of using metal insulation fasteners is their dependability to continue to function in the event of a fire; the downside is that metal is a good conductor of heat and can provide a thermal bridge through the insulation, resulting in potential heat loss at fastening positions.
