Frequently Asked Questions

Do Spax frame fixings require pre-drilling?

Many Spax frame fixings feature the innovative 4CUT point technology, which allows direct driving without pre-drilling in most timber applications. However, when fixing into masonry or working near board edges, pre-drilling is recommended to prevent substrate damage and ensure optimal performance.

What length frame fixing should I use?

Frame fixing length depends on your specific application. As a general rule, the fixing should penetrate at least 50-60mm into the substrate material (typically masonry) beyond the frame thickness. Consult building regulations and manufacturer guidelines for structural applications.

Are Spax frame fixings suitable for external use?

Yes, Spax offers frame fixings with appropriate corrosion-resistant coatings for external applications. Look for WIROX-coated or stainless steel variants for exterior installations and exposed conditions to ensure long-term durability.
