Product Information

Full details

This guide is for builders and contractors working with External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS). The TIMco EM295 offers a faster, more efficient solution for fixing insulation boards to concrete and masonry substrates, primarily by reducing installation time. A key consideration is its specific application for ETICS, meaning it may not be suitable for all insulation fixing needs.

FAQs

What substrates can the TIMco EM295 be used on?

The TIMco EM295 is suitable for use on concrete, brick, and block substrates.

What is the purpose of the plastic insulator on the steel pin?

The plastic insulator prevents the formation of a thermal bridge, which helps to improve the overall thermal efficiency of the building envelope.

How do I achieve a faster installation?

The EM295 is designed for quick installation with shorter anchoring zones of 25mm & 45mm, and a hammer-in mechanism. Ensure you have the correct 8.0mm drill bit for efficient hole preparation.

Can I use this for all types of insulation?

It is specifically designed for External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS). For softer insulation materials like insulation wool, it is recommended to use the compatible TDW110 Insulation Fixing Washer.

What are the dimensions of the fixing?

The fixing has a diameter of 8.0mm, a head diameter of 60mm, and is available in sizes for 25mm and 45mm anchoring zones. The specific product code EM295 refers to the 8.0 x 295mm size.

Is this product certified?

Yes, the TIMco EM295 is CE approved to Regulation (EU) 305/2011 and has undergone third-party testing (ETA-23/0351).

Troubleshooting

Fixing does not seat properly

Ensure the drill hole diameter is exactly 8.0mm and the depth is sufficient. Check for debris in the drill hole. Verify the substrate is suitable (concrete, brick, block).

Steel pin is difficult to hammer in

Confirm the correct drill bit size (8.0mm) has been used. Excessive force may damage the insulation; ensure the pin is driven straight and steadily.

Thermal bridging is still apparent

Ensure the plastic insulator on the steel pin is intact and the fixing has been installed flush. Check that the correct fixing type for the insulation thickness and substrate has been used.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces installation time due to shorter anchoring zones.
  • Effectively prevents thermal bridging with its integrated steel pin and plastic insulator.
  • Durable design with an impact-resistant head for reliable hammer-in application.
  • Approved and tested for quality assurance (CE and ETA certified).
  • Suitable for a range of common masonry and concrete substrates.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for ETICS applications, may require different solutions for other insulation types.
  • Requires a pre-drilled hole of 8.0mm, necessitating correct tooling.
  • The white colour might not blend seamlessly with all external facade finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Drill a hole in the substrate (concrete, brick, or block) with an 8.0mm diameter drill bit.
  2. Ensure the drill hole depth is appropriate for the chosen fixing length (25mm or 45mm anchoring zones).
  3. Insert the TIMco EM295 fixing into the drilled hole.
  4. Using a hammer, drive the steel pin fully into the fixing until the head is flush with the insulation board.
  5. For softer insulation materials, use the TDW110 Insulation Fixing Washer before inserting the fixing.

Compatibility:

  • Substrates: Concrete, Brick, Block
  • Application: Facade Insulation Systems, External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS)
  • Accessories: Compatible with TDW110 Insulation Fixing Washer.

Care:

These fixings are designed for a single, permanent installation. No specific maintenance is required after installation. Ensure the product is stored in a dry environment prior to use to prevent corrosion of the steel pin.
