Description
What are 7.5 x 112mm Concrete Frame Screws used for?
Concrete frame screws (also known as masonry bolts or thunderbolts) are the professional standard for high-load structural fixings. The 112mm length is specifically engineered to bridge the gap between a standard window frame and the structural inner leaf of a building. Unlike traditional sleeve anchors, these concrete frame screws do not exert outward expansion pressure, making them the safest choice for fixing close to the edges of masonry without the risk of splitting the brickwork.
Why Choose a Torx Head for Masonry Installations?
Driving a 112mm fastener into high-density masonry requires significant rotational force. Our concrete frame screws utilize a T30 Torx (Star) drive system. This provides a vastly superior mechanical grip between the screwdriver bit and the screw head compared to traditional Pozi or Phillips drives. This high-torque transfer ensures that the concrete frame screws can be driven home at high speeds in a single motion, even in the hardest engineering bricks or reinforced concrete.
High-Low Thread for Superior Pull-Out Resistance
At ECO HEAT SHOP, we supply fixings designed for long-term structural integrity. These concrete frame screws feature a unique “high-low” serrated thread pattern. As the screw is driven into a pre-drilled pilot hole, the hardened threads cut a clean path into the masonry, creating a mechanical interlock that is incredibly resistant to shear and pull-out forces. The bright zinc plating ensures the fixings remain protected against corrosion in both internal and external environments.

Installation Advice: To ensure a successful fix with concrete frame screws, you must drill a 6.0mm or 6.5mm pilot hole (depending on the density of the masonry) using an SDS masonry bit. Ensure the hole is at least 15mm deeper than the screw’s intended penetration to allow for dust clearance, ensuring the screw can be fully tightened without bottoming out.
