This Forgefix fixing band is a heavy-duty, flexible and strong band which is easy to cut and bend. The band has pre-punched holes for fixing bolts and screws, and is made from galvanised steel for protection against corrosion. Supplied in 10 metre rolls. Ideal for fixing, supporting joists and many more superficial installations. Can be used with screws and galvanised twist nails. Galvanisation is process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel in order to prevent rusting. Zinc coatings prevent corrosion of the protected metal by forming a physical barrier, and by acting as a sacrificial anode even if this barrier is damaged.
