Zinc-plated fasteners offer good corrosion resistance for indoor or dry environments and are generally more cost-effective. However, for outdoor projects, coastal areas, or high-moisture environments, Stainless Steel (A2 or A4 grade) is essential to prevent rust and structural failure over time.

While the terms are often used interchangeably, a fastener usually refers to items that join two or more objects together (like a bolt and nut), whereas a fixing typically refers to the hardware used to attach an object to a permanent structure, such as a wall or floor (like a wall plug or masonry anchor).

Yes. We stock a variety of cavity and toggle fixings specifically designed for hollow walls and plasterboard. These distribute the load across a wider area on the reverse of the board, preventing pull-out and ensuring a secure mount for medium-weight items.
