Samac Fixings has announced the introduction of new screw lengths, specifically designed to comply with the updated UK building regulations for roof insulation which now mandates a minimum level of 0.18W/mK for all new-build homes and extensions.

Understanding and responding to the industry shift, Samac Fixings has added 6x220mm and 6x240mm screw lengths to its Performance Range. Engineered to travel through increased thickness of the latest insulation materials, the screws ensure compliance, quality, and reliability.

The extended screws are crucial in maintaining the structural integrity of roof insulation. They provide a more secure grip and penetrate the full depth of the insulation, offering proper support and preventing damage. Moreover, they distribute pressure more evenly across the insulation layer, critical for maintaining the stability of the insulation over time. This ensures buildings remain energy efficient and compliant with the latest standards.
