Concrete screws/Anchors Thunder Bolt (HSPC20)

4 products

Maximize your structural efficiency with the Thunderbolt range of concrete screws and anchors, the original high-performance masonry fixing.1 Engineered for speed, reliability, and immense load-bearing capacity, Thunderbolts have revolutionized the way professionals approach heavy-duty anchoring in concrete, brick, stone, and block.

 


Why Choose Thunderbolt Concrete Screws?

The Thunderbolt is a self-tapping masonry anchor that creates its own thread during installation.2 Unlike traditional expansion anchors, it does not exert outward pressure on the substrate, making it the ideal solution for close-to-edge applications and reducing the risk of cracking the base material.3

 

Key Features & Benefits

  • Mechanical Galvanized & Zinc Plated Options: Available in various finishes to provide superior corrosion resistance for both internal and external projects.4

     

  • All-Steel Construction: Provides exceptional tensile strength and fire resistance compared to plastic-sleeved alternatives.5

     

  • Non-Expansion Fixing: Allows for closer spacing between anchors and prevents stress on the concrete or masonry.6

     

  • Fast Installation: Simply drill a pilot hole and drive the screw in—no need for resin, toggles, or specialized setting tools.

  • Fully Removable: Perfect for temporary fixtures or site adjustments, leaving a clean hole behind.7

     


Technical Specifications & Versatility

Whether you are securing timber wall plates, steel trunking, or heavy machinery, the Thunderbolt range offers a diameter and length for every requirement.

Feature Specification / Detail

Material High-Grade Carbon Steel (Stainless Steel options available)
Installation Direct screw-in after drilling a pilot hole

Installation Guide: How to Fit a Thunderbolt

To ensure maximum pull-out resistance and structural integrity, follow these essential steps:

  1. Drill: Use a masonry bit of the same diameter as the Thunderbolt (e.g., use an 8mm bit for an 8mm bolt).

  2. Clean: Remove all dust and debris from the hole using a blow pump or vacuum.8

     

  3. Drive: Use a socket wrench or impact driver to screw the Thunderbolt directly into the hole.

  4. Secure: The threads will tap into the masonry, creating a secure, mechanical interlock.9

     


Applications in Construction

The Thunderbolt range is the go-to choice for contractors across multiple sectors:

  • Fencing & Railings: Secure posts to concrete pads with confidence.

  • HVAC & M&E: Mounting brackets and pipework to ceilings and walls.

  • Carpentry: Attaching sole plates and timber frames to foundations.

  • Warehouse Fit-outs: Bolting racking and shelving to industrial floors.

Looking for the toughest fix on the market? The Thunderbolt range provides the "drill, drive, done" efficiency that modern construction demands.

Comparison: Thunderbolt Screws vs. Chemical Resin Anchors

Feature Thunderbolt Concrete Screws Chemical Resin Anchors
Installation Speed Fast: Drill, drive, and finish in seconds. Slow: Requires drilling, cleaning, injecting, and curing.
Load Timing Immediate: Can be loaded to full capacity instantly. Delayed: Requires wait time (minutes to hours) for curing.
Edge Distance Excellent: Low expansion allows for close-to-edge fixing. Superior: Zero expansion stress; safest for very close edges.
Substrate Integrity Best for high-quality concrete and solid brick. Best for "honeycombed" or old, crumbling masonry.
Cost per Fixing Lower (no specialized applicators or resin tubes). Higher (requires resin tubes, mixer nozzles, and guns).
Removability Fully Removable: Leaves a clean hole. Permanent: The stud must be cut flush or ground down.
Weather Conditions Can be installed in almost any temperature. Curing times are heavily affected by cold/damp conditions.
