Fixings, substrates and pull-out in Newquay
Fixings are selected for the substrate they go into. Solid brick, block, stone, timber and modern insulated construction each need different anchors, embedment depths and spacings, and the wrong choice is invisible until something moves.
Spacing is dictated by the design, not by eye: anchors at defined distances from each corner and at intervals between, so load is spread rather than concentrated. Too few fixings, or fixings too close to a corner, is a common legacy fault.
Corrosion is the slow failure mode. A plain steel anchor in a damp perimeter eventually loses section, and the first symptom is a frame that has begun to move slightly under wind load.
