Fixing to Celcon or Thermalite Blocks?
Airtwist Thermalite Fixings are a robust carbon steel frame fixing that nails timber battens, frames, wall plates and timber frame sole plates without the need to pilot hole in Aircrete lightweight thermal block work (e.g. Celcon, Thermalite, Top block etc.).
These Thermalite fixings are Zinc plated and are recommended for use on internal walls only. The slim helical form of the Airtwist nail alleviates timber splitting. The fixing is countersunk by a neat SDS setting tool which anchors the timber to aerated concrete in rapid time. This unique tool enables a quick, tidy and discreet fixing.
The patented fixing system offers a mechanical interlock anchorage that exerts no expansive crushing stress into lightweight thermal blocks. Loads are spread evenly along the full length of the fixing providing a reliable fixing in both the timber and the aerated concrete.
