We are testing thermal insulation fixings - KI-10M facade fixings for the general contractor of an apartment building.

Professional tests of facade fixings on the construction site, carried out with the use of certified pull-out tool, are an excellent way to accurately check the strength of a given fastener in a specific material. Practical confirmation of the parameters given in the technical documentation allows you to gain confidence in your choice and a guarantee of the durability of the application.

This time we went to the construction of apartment buildings. For the general contractor, we carried out a test of fixing facade thermal insulation - facade fixings with a hammer-in metal pin KI-10M. A practical test performed with a winch confirmed the strength values of this fastening, thus meeting the condition of using our fixing on the entire investment.

Check out Rawlplug's full range of hammer-in facade fixings for polystyrene foam and wool.

An apartment building development is usually a very large investment - in this one, the demand for our facade fasteners is as high as 35-40 thousand units. With such large orders, testing the strength of the fastener is a great way to gain confidence in its selection - both for the contractor and for the engineer or designer.

See how the facade fixings test on site:

The declared characteristic load for KI-10M dowels, depending on the anchoring substrate, is according to ETA-07/0291 from 0.10 kN (aerated concrete) to 0.60 kN (solid silicate brick).

Facade fixings with metal nail KI-10M with a length of 260 mm (tested length) are driven facade fixings from the Koelner offer. Designed for installation of thermal insulation made of polystyrene foam or mineral wool on all types of substrates. They are most effective when installed sunken with a KES polystyrene cap - this configuration reduces thermal transmittance and guarantees a homogeneous facade surface. Facade fixings KI-10M can also be installed with a retaining plate KWL for fixing mineral wool, ensuring exceptional stability of the insulation system, resistant to vibrations caused by wind suction forces. The fixing is easy to install - in the installation process it is worth using a recoilless hammer R-HDH-0600 and a plastic cutter for polystyrene and mineral wool KFS
