Construction anchors are specialized types of fasteners used to securely attach objects like railings, cabinets, and machinery to concrete, brick, or masonry. They go beyond regular screws or nails, providing a stronger and more permanent hold for heavier loads. Imagine building a deck – the anchors secure the posts to the foundation. Similarly, anchors hold cabinets firmly in kitchens or support curtain walls on skyscrapers.

Arlcoal carries a wide variety of anchors to suit your project needs, including:

• Anchor Bolts are the most common type. They have a threaded end for a nut and washer and a mechanism for gripping the base material. There are many varieties, including:
  
  
  • Expansion Anchors: These wedge themselves into the hole by tightening a nut, creating friction for a strong hold.
    
    
  • Undercut Anchors: These have a threaded section that expands behind an undercut drilled into the base material.
    
    
  • Chemical Anchors: These are inserted into a pre-drilled hole filled with a special adhesive that cures to create a strong bond.
    
    
• Ramset is actually a brand name, but it's become synonymous with a specific type of anchor - a drive pin. These are hammer-driven studs used with a powder charge for fastening into concrete or steel.
  
  
• Spikes are simple, pointed fasteners typically driven into softer materials like wood or light-duty concrete block. They provide limited holding power.
  
  
• Tapcon Screws is another brand name for a specific type of screw designed for concrete. These have aggressive threads that cut into the base material for a strong hold, and can often be installed without pre-drilling (depending on the concrete).
