Klimas WKTHERM Insulating Plug 8x275 mm with Metal Nail

The Klimas WKTHERM insulating plug, measuring 8x275 mm, is a professional-grade fastener engineered for the secure installation of thermal insulation boards on building facades. This high-quality component features a robust metal nail integrated with a durable polyethylene sleeve, ensuring exceptional load-bearing capacity and long-term stability for exterior wall insulation systems. By minimizing thermal bridging, it contributes to the overall energy efficiency of construction projects.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Klimas WKTHERM plug is its superior mechanical strength, provided by the high-quality metal nail which ensures a firm grip in various base materials. The design of the polyethylene sleeve allows for easy installation while maintaining structural integrity over time. Its resistance to environmental factors makes it a reliable choice for long-term facade insulation, preventing the sagging or detachment of insulation boards and ensuring a consistent thermal envelope for the building.

Suitable for

• Securing mineral wool and polystyrene insulation boards
• Installation on concrete, solid brick, and hollow brick substrates
• Exterior thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS)
• Energy-efficient building renovations and new construction

When it may not be suitable

This insulating plug is not intended for use in thin-walled materials or substrates that cannot support the mechanical expansion of the anchor. It is also not suitable for applications requiring chemical anchoring or for fastening heavy structural elements that exceed the load-bearing capacity of standard facade fixings.

Key specifications

• Plug diameter: 8 mm
• Plug length: 275 mm
• Material: Polyethylene sleeve with metal nail
• Quantity per package: 100 pieces

How to use

To install the plug, first drill a hole into the base material through the insulation board using a drill bit of the appropriate diameter. Ensure the hole is cleaned of dust and debris to maximize the grip. Insert the plug into the hole until the head is flush with the surface of the insulation. Finally, drive the metal nail into the plug until it is fully seated, which expands the sleeve and secures the insulation board firmly against the wall.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thickness of your insulation material to ensure the 275 mm length is sufficient
• Check the compatibility of the plug with your specific wall substrate type
• Ensure you have the correct drill bit size for an 8 mm diameter plug

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, ensure the drill hole depth is slightly greater than the length of the plug to accommodate any dust accumulation. Always follow the specific installation guidelines provided by the insulation board manufacturer to maintain the integrity of the facade system.
