Products and services

• Self-Drilling Fasteners Self-drilling fasteners designed for roofing and cladding applications, available in carbon steel, bi-metallic, and stainless steel variants, with drill points enabling efficient installation without pre-drilling.
• Colorfast Self-Drilling Fasteners Self-drilling fasteners with coloured head over-moulded in high engineering grade nylon, delivering high impact resistance and efficient installation for profiled metal roofing and cladding sheets with colour matching and near-permanent corrosion resistance.
• Opticore Fasteners Patented integral nylon head designed to encapsulate fasteners from the high-performance self-drilling range, providing a dual-drive fastening system enabling rapid self-coring of membrane-faced insulation panels.
• Self-Tapping Fasteners Stainless steel self-tapping screws designed for various applications including steel, timber, and aluminium, ideal for fixing profiled steel sheets, sandwich panels, brackets, and other components.
• Insulation Support Products Wide range of insulation fixings and washers designed for secure attachment of insulation materials to various substrates including external wall insulation, ceilings, and fire-rated or acoustic installations.
• Bulb Tite Rivets Speciality blind rivet designed for fastening materials like metal profiles, roof lights, and sheet overlaps, with body that collapses to form three distinct load-bearing legs on the blind side.
• Storm Washers Critical component for high-performance roofing and cladding systems designed to form water-tight seal and provide increased resistance to wind uplift, made from pressed aluminium with bonded EPDM rubber.
• Flashings & Sealants Range including PVC barrier tape, butyl sealants, moisture vapour tape, and silicone products for sealing laps, junctions, and creating vapor checks in metal liner panels.
• LIEBIG Anchors Heavy-duty concrete anchors including ULTRAPLUS undercut anchor that creates positive mechanical interlock within concrete, SUPERPLUS self-undercutting anchors, and Safety Bolt double expansion anchors for safety-critical applications.

• Through-Bolts Heavy-duty threaded anchors for reliable anchoring in concrete, masonry, and stone, available in zinc-plated, hot-dipped galvanized, and stainless steel finishes.
• Concrete Screws Self-tapping concrete screws that create their own thread in pre-drilled holes, operating on a thread-forming principle without requiring separate plastic or metal plugs.
• Screw Set Anchors Mechanical fixings using expansion principle with screw and plastic plug, where the conical tip forces the sleeve to expand creating a secure interlocked connection within base material.
• Drop-in Anchors Internally threaded anchors used for creating secure, flush, reusable fastening points in solid base materials, with expansion occurring via cone/plug displacement.
• Scaffolding Anchors Specialised scaffolding wall anchors for securely connecting scaffold structures to permanent building fabric, including JA3 GT and JZ3 GT series for timber, steel, and aluminium substrates.
