Facade Wall Plug

Facade wall plugs are used for fastening thermal insulation and finishing materials to a building’s facade.

Used in construction and renovation works.

The choice of wall plug depends on the type of material being attached and the type of walls. Wall plugs are also used as fasteners for wooden structures, window frames, door frames and other elements.

Main types

Two types of facade wall plugs are the most common:

1. Anchor type. Used for fastening thermal insulation materials of varying density. An additional application is the installation of ventilated facades and finishing.
2. Disc type. Made of plastic. Similar in design to an expansion wall plug, but has a wide cap that provides a broad grip on the thermal insulation and prevents it from being crushed or shifting. Zinc-plated nails are used for installation.

The advantage of disc-type wall plugs is their simple design. During installation, a hole is drilled through the insulation, the plastic wall plug is inserted into it, then the nail is driven in.
