TIMCO Metal Insulation Disc 35mm - Box of 100 - Zinc

Product Information

Wall Insulation: The Timloc 80mm Cavity Insulation Retaining Discs are primarily used for retaining insulation material within cavity walls. They ensure the insulation stays in place, preventing it from sagging or slipping over time.

It is common for pragmatic designers to specify an insulation fastening system that combines the attributes of both plastic fixings and steel anchors. In external wall insulation systems for low-rise buildings, the designer may prescribe the use of the more thermally efficient plastic fasteners, supplemented by using fire-safe mechanical fixing per board.

Construction Projects: In new construction projects, these discs can be used during the installation of insulation to ensure it stays in place, providing effective thermal insulation from the outset. The purpose of insulating a building is to maximise its thermal benefit. The majority of insulation-fastening plugs are of plastic or nylon composition and are poor conductors of heat.

These systems need to be held securely to the structure to resist significant wind-loads and stop the insulation from being torn from the building. Failure of an external insulation system can occur if pull-out loads wrench the fixing system from the building or pull-through loads cause the insulation to fail and pull over the heads of the fastener. Establishing the suitability of a fastener to anchor into a specific building material is an essential part of planning an insulation fixing system. Several fastening systems are set up such that upon installation, the head sits in a shallow recess, slightly beneath the surface of the insulating material. Fire-resistant insulation fixings are available in zinc plated carbon-steel and stainless-steel. When insulation needs fitting externally, consider the use of stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion. When fixing insulation internally, and rust potential is not an issue, carbon-steel fasteners, which cost less, are generally suitable for use. The upside of using metal insulation fasteners is their dependability to continue to function in the event of a fire; the downside is that metal is a good conductor of heat and can provide a thermal bridge through the insulation, resulting in potential heat loss at fastening positions.

The use of such synthetic fasteners helps to fulfil the objective of retaining the utmost insulation values of a building by mitigating potential heat loss at fastening positions. Floor Insulation: In some cases, these discs can be used for floor insulation purposes. They can secure insulation material between floor joists, ensuring it remains effective and doesn't move. Insulation fixings and screws are vital for ensuring each type of insulation is secured properly. Using the correct hardware will make sure everything from plasterboard to multifoil stays in place and doesn’t get damaged. The Timloc 80mm Cavity Insulation Retaining Disc / Clips (Red) are designed to provide excellent performance in holding insulation in place. The firm grip design ensures that the discs stay securely on the wall tie, even in high winds or other adverse weather conditions. This reliable performance helps to maintain the integrity of the insulation and improve energy efficiency in buildings.

In contrast, metal fixings maintain the stability of the boards in the event of a fire. Metal fixings comply with BS EN 13501 as a Class A1 non-combustible fastener. Class A1 fasteners will not contribute to a fire at in any stage nor will they present a smoke hazard.
