Workplace Health & Safety Policy

A team of highly experienced specialists works in the in-house analysis laboratory: a cutting-edge area where rigorous tests are performed on any type of base material and on every type of product, equipped for the full scale ETA testing procedure and also equipped with a cracked concrete testing facility. Furthermore, Friulsider collaborates with leading worldwide universities for the analysis and the development of new fixing solutions.

FRIULSIDER® FIXINGS FOR INSULATING MATERIALS 

Establishing the suitability of a fastener to anchor into a specific building material is an essential part of planning an insulation fixing system. Friulisider has in offer special fixings and accessories for fixing insulation in external wall insulation systems. Company offers an economical, energy-efficient and secure fixing solution for all 3 types of applications:

• Mineral Wool,
• Phenolic,
• Expanded Polystyrene

Fixings are either screwed or hammered through the insulation and into the wall behind to create a completely secure system. Used in conjunction with the adhesives, the insulation fixings help to ensure that the system will remain stable for years to come.

The weaker and thinner the insulating material, the greater the head-diameter or washer needed to hold it in place and to resist pull-through forces. Friulsider offers a wide variety of fixings in different lengths to accommodate the thickness of your chosen insulation material. 

Friulsider® CTP Insulation Panel Fixings for Timber

CTP Wood Fixings for Timber Frame is a high-quality polypropelene head and steel nail fixing designed to secure insulation panels such as EPS (expanded polystyrene) or phenolic Kingspan K5. Friulsider CTP Timber structure insulation panel fixings are suitable for rigid and semi-rigid insulating boards and panels. CTP's are available in most common lengths: 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, 90mm, 100mm and 120mm.

Applications: Wood | OSB | Plywood

Friulsider® ISOfast Insulation Panel Fixings Plastic Pin

ISOfast Insulation Panel Fixings are strong, polypropylene fasteners designed to fix and secure insulation panels to the variety of substrates. The mechanical anchors are made from plastic, which means that they reduce thermal bridging within the external wall insulation systems. 

The advantage of using PVC insulation fixings is that they help retain the insulation values of a building by mitigating potential heat loss at fastening positions. The plastic nail reduces heat transmission. Pin design reinforced with glass fibre allows fast and trouble-free installation with correct expansion of the plug. They are quick and simple to use. The hammer in screw eliminates the need to use a screwdriver and makes for a quick installation. Suitable for anchoring polystyrene and rigid foam insulation boards to concrete, bricks & blocks. Plastic pin fixings are mainly used with a combination of external wall EPS (expanded polystyrene) and Kingspan Kooltherm  K5 phenolic boards. Made of plastic fixing is reducing a cold bridge meaning that the system maintains its insulating qualities for years.

The plastic pin is 10mm in width (hole diameter) this ensures the fixings are durable and don’t snap during the installation. We recommend that any fixing used is 40mm to 60mm longer than the thickness of the insulation board to ensure it is strongly anchored to the wall. Anchors are available in most common lengths: 70mm, 90mm, 120mm,140mm, 160mm, 180mm, 200mm, 220mm and 260mm. Installation is simple, firstly drill the hole, secondly insert the fixing and gently hammer the plastic pin.

Applications: Concrete | Bricks | Blocks

Friulsider® ISOX-S Insulation Panel Fixings Metal Pin

Friulsider® ISOX-S are hammer in type of fixings with preassembled steel nails. Much like the plastic hammer fixings, these consist of a plastic sheath, but the pin that gets hammered in is made of metal. As you would expect, these are much stronger than the plastic hammer fixings. The metallic rods are hammered in, giving the system stability. Metal fixings comply with BS EN 13501 as a Class A1 non-combustible fastener. These mechanical fixings are suitable for concrete, brick and other blockwork. If in doubt about the suitability of the substrate, it is recommended a pull test is carried out to ensure it is strong enough to support an EWI system. Downside of metal pin fixing 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. Metal fixings can either be screwed in or hammered in depending on the type of insulation and the type of substrate. Anchors are available in most common lengths: 70mm, 90mm, 120mm, 140mm, 160mm, 180mm and 200mm. 

For example, with the Kingspan K5 insulation system it is recommended to use metal screw fixings. Because it is more rigid material which makes it harder to hammer the fixings in. Mineral wool is a heavier insulation material, it requires metal insulation fixings which are a lot stronger than plastic, which come with a plastic outer casing to help prevent thermal bridging. Again, this type of fixing is designed to go straight through the insulation board and into the substrate behind to ensure the boards are secure.

Applications: Concrete | Bricks | Blockwork
