Super 7 Fixings - How to use

Author: Twistfix Ltd

Contractors all over the UK are gearing up for the annual increase in orders for waterproofing and insulation projects that are caused by the onset of cold, windy and wet weather. Make sure your business is ready with two of our best-selling professional solutions - Super-7 and Insofast.

Super-7 Warm Roof Fixings

The Super-7 Warm Roof Fixing was specifically engineered to be used in thicker layers of over-rafter insulation and is the strongest, most cost-effective helical fastener available on the market. It is also the only warm roof batten fixing to be assessed and approved independently; this thorough testing was carried out by CERAM and the results applied to a BRE-approved design method.

Designed to give optimal performance while reducing materials and labour time, up to 40% fewer Super-7 helical fasteners are required in comparison to standard 6mm helical fixings when calculated using the BRE-approved HeliCalc software. Fixing specifications provided by this calculator comply strictly with BS:6399 Parts II and III and have the relevant Eurocode safety factors applied, putting an end to the risk of choosing a manufacturer that delivers specifications based on unpublished design criteria and test data.

Insofast Insulation Fixings

Making expert use of the Super-7 helical system, Insofast flat roof insulation fixings are primarily used to secure laminates above roof deck rafters. Each fixing is based on a Super-7 helical shank which has a dome-reinforced head welded above. This allows the fixing to be easily and accurately driven using an SDS driving tool or ordinary hammer, strongly affixing insulation boards to the deck joists of the roofing structure. The innovative fixing is available in either a stainless steel or zinc-plated carbon steel format and can be supplied in a comprehensive selection of lengths ranging between 145 - 225mm.

Whether protecting a flat or pitched roof, a rigid foam or mineral fibre insulation material, we can quickly supply your firm with professional quality solutions at the most competitive price. Get ready for the Winter with Twistfix and make those roofs water tight.
