Anchor Bolts & Masonry Anchors: Types of Anchors for Concrete & Walls

Types of anchors and how to choose

For a fixing you may want to take out later, Concrete Screws (Screw Anchors) cut their own thread and are fully removable. Sleeve Anchors suit light to medium duty fixings in solid concrete. Wedge Anchor gives a high-strength, close-tolerance fix in solid concrete, Through Bolt Anchor fixes through the fixture in one operation, and the HDS Safety Anchor is made for cracked and seismic concrete. A Drop-In Anchor sets flush and leaves an internal thread for a bolt or threaded rod, set with the matching Drop-In Anchor Setting Tool.

For battens and light framing, a Hammer-In / Nail Anchor sets with one hammer blow. Into brick, block and board, use a Nylon Wall Plug & Frame Fixing or Wall Plug; Hollow Wall & Plasterboard Anchors fold up behind plasterboard and hollow walls. Resin fixings are on the Chemical Anchor and Chemical Anchor Kit pages, and Anchor Hole Cleaning has the brushes and blow-out pumps to prepare the hole.
