The Klimas WKTHERM insulating plug, measuring 8x195 mm, is a professional-grade mechanical fastener engineered for the secure installation of thermal insulation boards. Constructed with a durable polyethylene sleeve and a high-quality metal nail, this product provides exceptional load-bearing capacity and long-term stability for facade insulation systems. Its design effectively minimizes thermal bridging, ensuring that the building envelope maintains its energy efficiency and structural integrity over time.
Advantages
The primary benefit of the Klimas WKTHERM plug is its robust construction, which combines a resilient plastic sleeve with a rigid metal nail to withstand significant mechanical stress. This combination ensures a firm grip in various building substrates, preventing insulation boards from sagging or detaching. Furthermore, the material composition is resistant to environmental factors, making it a reliable choice for exterior wall applications where durability and performance are critical for maintaining thermal comfort.
Suitable for
- Securing expanded polystyrene (EPS) boards
- Fastening mineral wool insulation panels
- Installation on concrete and solid brick substrates
- Professional facade thermal insulation systems
When it may not be suitable
This product is specifically designed for solid substrates and may not provide adequate pull-out resistance in hollow bricks or aerated concrete without specific testing. It is also not intended for use in applications requiring chemical anchoring or where the insulation thickness does not match the 195 mm length requirement.
Key specifications
- Diameter: 8 mm
- Length: 195 mm
- Material: Polyethylene sleeve with metal nail
- Quantity: 200 pieces per package
How to use
To install the Klimas WKTHERM insulating plug, first drill a hole into the substrate through the insulation board to the required depth using an 8 mm drill bit. Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris. Insert the plug into the hole until the head is flush with the surface of the insulation material. Finally, drive the metal nail into the plug until it is fully seated, expanding the sleeve to lock the fastener securely into the wall.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the thickness of your insulation material to ensure the 195 mm length is appropriate.
- Check the compatibility of the fastener with your specific wall substrate material.
- Ensure you have the correct drill bit size for an 8 mm diameter installation.
Usage recommendations
Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding the number of fasteners required per square meter to ensure the structural safety and compliance of the facade system.
