Plate dowels

Insulation boards can be attached to a load-bearing wall by means of gluing or dowels.

Especially in the case of external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), it is crucial that system-appropriate anchors are used. In principle, these are disc dowels that are inserted into the insulation board. In this respect, a distinction is made between the following types of ETICS dowels:

  • Impact dowels
  • Screw dowels
  • Nail dowels
  • Sink dowels
  • Setting dowels
  • Drill fasteners
