Drywall anchors
pgb’s drywall anchor type PCA is a plastic cavity anchor, which is the ideal solution for drywall fixings as the plug can be used in single and double boards.

Also available is pgb’s drywall anchor type GKP. The self-drilling gypsum board anchor is available in both nylon and steel. The anchor is easy to install as it requires no special tools.

Aerated concrete screws
These new screws have a countersunk head and T30 drive, ideal for use in aerated concrete blocks and other porous materials such as light expanded clay aggregate blocks.

Fast and easy to fix, this self-tapping screw with coarse thread assures a solid connection without pre-drilling or plugs, directly into the base material. The screws have a special zinc flake coating for high corrosion resistance.
