Damproofing and Remedial Fixings

Refurbishment and upgrading of buildings requires a range of specialist, corrosion resistant fixings. Techmarkets have worked with leading system designers to develop a range of fixings for applications securing membranes and linings in general refurbishment and basement construction.

 

Membrane Fixings

The membrane fixing plug is used in damp proofing applications, to secure the specialist membranes to the base material, usually brickwork and concrete. Manufactured from glass filled polyamide, the fixing gives a high strength, corrosion resistant fixing. Application requires drilling of a 10mm diameter hole through the membrane and in to the solid base material. A central hole in the fixing will accept a woodscrew for securing timber battens for internal lining systems. A separate sealing washer is available
to provide a water tight seal under the fixing head.

Cob Plugs

Cob Plugs are used to secure membranes and lining boards to poor quality base material. Brickwork and blockwork in particular can become soft and unsuitable for the standard friction fit fasteners. Cob plugs have an expansion pin which provides a secure fixing to poor quality base material. The standard Cob Plug is 90mm long and requires a 10mm hole to be drilled into the base material.
