Choosing the Right Screw or Fixing

Specifying Below and Above DPC: Get the Structure Right First Time

Solid engineering bricks below DPC deliver the compressive strength and low water absorption needed to resist frost and moisture, so movement and spalling don’t appear later.

That behaviour is proven by dense manufacture and Class A/B ratings, which maintain integrity in foundations and retaining walls where loads and damp meet.

Once you’re above DPC, facing bricks carry the visual brief while the engineered base does the heavy lifting – a clear separation of roles that keeps defects off the snag list. 

Tie the system together with the correct mortar, DPC and wall ties and you get a wall that performs to spec and stays that way through winter cycles.

FAQs – Screws & Fixings

Q: Which screws should I use for plasterboard?

A: Use plaster screws: coarse-thread for timber studs, fine-thread for metal. Length = board thickness + 10–15 mm into the stud.

Q: Are floor joist brackets suitable for outdoor decks?

A: Yes, choose galvanised or stainless brackets rated for external use and check load/spec against your joist size.

Q: What’s the best fixing for securing timber supports to concrete?

A: Use timber support post bases with concrete anchors or through-bolts; follow manufacturer load data.

Q: Do you offer bulk discounts?

A: Yes – multi-buy and trade discounts apply to most screws and fixings.
