What are Masonry Anchors?

Masonry anchors are designed to attach or fasten items to masonry. They are made of solid and durable materials to provide reliable and secure hold. When the screw is screwed into the wall, it works by expanding the drilled hole in the masonry. This makes the screws safe and secure regardless of whether the wall is masonry or made of concrete.

Types of Masonry Anchors:

There are various types of masonry anchors designed with varied materials. They are ideal for a variety of applications. Some of the more popular types of anchors are:

• Anchor Bolts: 

These bolts are multipurpose anchors ideal for medium-weight applications. They are employed for materials such as block, brick, hard masonry, or sometimes concrete. They come in various sizes and are highly durable, zinc-plated steel for extra strength and longevity. 

• Concrete Screws:

These screws are designed for low and medium-duty applications, specifically for concrete, and are constructed to tap into more complex materials. They are ideal for tougher masonry applications. They feature anti-corrosive properties due to their protective coatings. In addition to concrete, they are also widely employed for gypsum block/board, chipboard, and wood.

• Wall Plugs:

They are widely utilized for fixing or attaching applications, such as fixing shelves or cabinet attachments to walls. They are widely used for light and medium-weight items such as floors, ceilings, and walls with functional capabilities such as plywood, plasterboard, block, concrete, and stones. Furthermore, they are universal with anti-rotations pins that prevent them from spinning in their respective holes.
