Speed Bump Fixings

Ensuring your new speed bump stays put is a demanding task; with hundreds of vehicles passing over it during its lifespan it is essential you choose the right speed bump fixings. With options available for both tarmac and concrete we have a fixing for most speed bump installations. To ensure the install goes without a hitch we recommend buying a new drill bit and hole dust blower.

About Speed Bump Fixings

Fixing speed bumps securely is essential to maximising their lifetime and ensuring they remain firmly in place under the stress of traffic. Our range of fixings offers reliable and durable solutions to keep speed bumps of any material in place on any type of road surface and environment, reducing the need for maintenance later.

Our range of fixings is designed for quick, efficient installation of speed bumps, regardless of a person's skill level. Different types of speed bump fixings are available, each designed for different installation environments, road types, and requirements. With the right choice of fixing, you can ensure longer-lasting performance of your speed bumps, improving safety for road users and passersby alike.

Fixings For Concrete

These fixings are designed to work in naturally inflexible concrete, providing strength and durability.

Fixings For Tarmac

These fixings are specifically designed for installation in tarmac and optimised to provide secure anchoring and durability in tarmac roads and driveways.

Universal Fixings

These fixings are designed to work just as well in concrete as they do in tarmac. Designed for versatility, these fixings mean you can bring one less type of screw with you when installing.

Key Considerations When Buying Speed Bump Fixings

Before choosing the best fixings for your speed bumps, consider the following factors to ensure they meet your functional needs:

Compatibility

What type of surface will you be fixing your speed bump to? The fixing should be compatible with the surface it will be installed on. For instance, tarmac-specific anchors or concrete bolts are designed to perform best on their respective surfaces. Sometimes, the design and material of a plug will determine the type of material your fixing can be used in.

Installation Method

Consider the ease of installation. Some fixings may require adhesives, fillers or specialised tools, while others only require a simple drill hole in the ground.

Use Case

For temporary speed bumps, be sure to pick a fixing type that is relatively easy to remove!

Quantity

How many fixings do your speed bumps require? Ensure you have selected at least the same number of fixings as are needed to install your speed bump—depending on the width of your road, this can often add up to more than expected!

Strength of Fixing

How deep is your road material? The fixing is only as strong as the road around it, so a thin road may not be strong enough to hold your speed bump, even if you have the strongest fixing bolts. For example, use a larger fixing (such as the well nut or universal fixing) to distribute the load evenly over a larger area in loose or crumbly tarmac.

Finish

Will your fixing see specific forms of wear and tear? Consider a fixing that resists this, such as rubber fixings for areas that see lots of vibrations (such as busy roads or delivery bays) or a galvanised finish for an extra long lifetime in spaces that see a lot of corrosion. If the road is gritted often, choose a salt corrosion-resistant material like stainless steel.

Washer

Will you need a washer? Some of our bolts have washers built into their heads, to distribute the load over the whole head, applying less pressure to the drill hole, while others do not. Consider whether a washer is necessary when choosing your bolts.
