Nylon Hammer Fixing | Hammer Fixing

Explore the robust and versatile range of Nylon Hammer Fixings at Insulation4less. Offering quality and reliability, our collection ensures your insulation and cladding projects stand steadfast. Here, we delve into various types of nylon hammer fixings, exploring their practical uses and guiding to navigate through your selection process.

What is Nylon Hammer Fixing?

Nylon Hammer Fixings are versatile, pre-assembled fasteners made from high-strength nylon plugs and zinc-plated or stainless-steel nails. Designed for quick and secure installation, they are driven directly into solid substrates—such as concrete, brick, or stone, using a hammer. This method allows for fast and easy fixing of lightweight materials to masonry without the need for screws or specialist tools.

Understanding Nylon Hammer Fixings

Nylon Hammer Fixings, often utilised in the construction and insulation sectors, are known for their exceptional grip and sturdy fixation. Designed to provide a secure hold in substrates like concrete, brick, and masonry, these fixings are integral in attaching insulation boards, wall ties, or framework while ensuring durability and stability.

M8 vs. M6 Hammer Fixings

Within the selection of SAMAC hammer fixings, we distinguish primarily between two major types: M8 and M6 hammer fixings, which are available in various pack sizes and lengths to accommodate diverse project requirements.

M8 Hammer Fixings: These fixings are generally thicker and suitable for applications requiring enhanced strength and stability. They are optimal for securing heavier or larger insulation panels, frameworks, or other structural elements.

M6 Hammer Fixings: Slightly thinner than their M8 counterparts, M6 fixings are apt for lighter duty applications. These fixings are often chosen for securing lighter insulation materials, sheeting, or cladding.

Guide for Selection

Smaller Projects: For DIY or smaller projects, choosing smaller packs (like the M8 and M6 Hammer Fixings in packs of 10) may suffice.

Professional or Larger Installations: For professionals or more significant applications, opt for box quantities, such as the M8 x 135mm Hammer Fixings (Box of 50), M8 Hammer Fixings (Box of 100), or the M6 Hammer Fixings (Box of 200) to ensure consistency and adequacy throughout the project.

Applications of Nylon Hammer Fixings

Nylon hammer fixings are ideal for both domestic and commercial projects. Common uses include:

• Installing timber battens or timber framing
• Mounting conduit clips or electrical boxes
• Securing lightweight shelving, brackets, or signage
• Attaching skirting boards or frames to brick or concrete

Installation Tips

• Drill a Hole – Use a hammer drill with a masonry bit to create a hole matching the diameter of the plug.
• Align the Fixture – Place your bracket, insulation, or timber against the wall.
• Insert the Fixing – Push the nylon plug with the nail into the hole through your fixture.
• Hammer It In – Tap the nail head with a hammer until flush with the surface.
  Optional Removal – Use a screwdriver to unscrew the nail if you need to remove the fixing later.
