Fixing design assistance

Our engineers will perform fixing calculations for you in all types of applications, even the most demanding ones. Select the substrate type and then the module in which the calculations are to be performed. Contact us if you can’t find the module you’re looking for. We will draft a report tailored to your individual needs.

Anchors

We will select the fixing method depending on the substrate and investment type. The category includes 4 modules: Concrete, Masonry, Balustrade, and Resin Consumption Calculator. Using the EasyFix software, we will help you find the best type of fixing and calculate the exact number of pieces needed.

Fixing in Concrete

Anchors

This module allows us to choose the best type of fixing in concrete substrates for your needs. Our experts will select the optimum anchoring method and calculate the number of mechanical fasteners or the amount of resin required. We will determine the best positioning of the fasteners on the fixture and enter the loads specific to the region and investment type.
