Screwbolts

A simple yet effective fixing, screwbolts have a wide range of uses - simply drill and drive into a surface. They can be used in concrete, stone, brick, and wood and mean that traditional anchors such as throughbolts are not required. Screwbolts also minimise waste, as they can be removed and reused, making them an incredibly good value-for-money fixing. Whether it's for heavy machinery, truckstops, or pipework, you can find a screwbolt to suit your needs here.

About Screwbolts

Screwbolts, designed for threading into concrete or masonry, provide a secure fixing solution for the best value for money. This type of versatile fastener is perfect for securing fixtures, fittings, and structures in construction and renovation projects. Their design allows for quick installation, making them a popular choice for both permanent and temporary fixings by both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

The key advantage of using a screw bolt over shield anchors, for instance, is they don’t require the use of a plug. Their “self-tapping” threads cut directly into concrete or masonry and can often be used in base materials such as fresh, cracked or reinforced concrete. This means you can potentially drill straight through the item you are fixing and then secure it with your screw bolt without the need to remove the item you are fixing to insert a plug.

Hex Head Screwbolts

Hex-headed screw-bolts are designed for use cases that require high torque and easy installation using a standard wrench. They provide a strong hold and are commonly used for heavy-duty fixings like securing steel beams, large fixtures, and machinery to concrete.

Countersunk Screwbolts

Countersunk screw bolts are designed to sit flush with the surface of the base material, providing a neat finish that won't be caught on passing objects. They are perfect for applications where aesthetics are important or where the screw head needs to be level with or below the surface, such as in flooring, cladding, and joinery.

Getting The Best Concrete Screw Anchor For Your Needs

Before choosing the best concrete anchor screws for your project, consider the following factors to ensure it meets your needs

Material

Because of their use case, screwbolts must be made from strong, durable materials to be effective, perform well, and be durable. Our stock of screwbolts is all built from strong, durable materials to be reliable in their use case. Carbon steel screwbolts provide higher strength and are suitable for most general applications. Stainless steel screwbolts provide excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for outdoor or marine environments.

Thread Design

The “self-tapping” thread design of screwbolts allows them to cut into concrete or masonry materials without the need for anchors or plugs. This feature simplifies the installation process while maintaining a secure hold. Look for threads specifically designed to handle the hardness of your base material, such as bolts for concrete and bolts for brick.

Load Capacity

Choosing a fixing with the right load capacity is essential for supporting the fixture's weight. We provide load ratings with each of our different sizes and types of screwbolts in different base materials, so be sure to choose an anchor with a higher load capacity than your project's requirements.

Base Material

What kind of base material are you installing your screwbolt into? Different screwbolts are designed for use in different materials like concrete, brick or masonry, so make sure the screwbolt you choose is compatible with the base material!

Head Type

The type of head you choose will affect both the installation process and the final appearance of the fixing. Hex heads, for example, offer easy installation with standard (non-specialised) tools, pan heads provide a broader grip, and countersunk heads offer a flush finish. Choose the head type that best suits your application requirements.
