Essential Fasteners for Inner West Construction

1. Masonry Anchors for Solid Brick Buildings

Why Critical in Inner West: Most Inner West homes pre-1950 feature solid brick walls (single or double brick, no cavity). Standard cavity wall anchors don’t work.

Chemical Anchors:

  • Best for: Heritage brickwork, heavy loads, critical applications
  • Types: Capsule anchors, injection systems, epoxy resin
  • Applications: Kitchen cabinets, shelving, structural connections
  • Advantage: No expansion stress on aged or soft brick

Mechanical Anchors:

  • Sleeve anchors: General-purpose solid brick fixing
  • Shield anchors: Light to medium loads
  • Wedge anchors: Heavy structural applications
  • Drop-in anchors: Flush finish for aesthetic requirements

Marrickville Building Supplies Tip: Test brick hardness before selecting anchors. Many Inner West properties have soft red brick that requires chemical rather than expansion anchors.

2. Timber Fasteners for Heritage and New Framing

Structural Wood Screws:

  • Applications: Sistering joists, reinforcing frames, connecting extensions
  • Specification: Grade 8.8 minimum, zinc-plated or stainless
  • Sizes: 8mm to 12mm diameter, lengths to 300mm
  • Self-drilling points: Eliminate pre-drilling in softwood framing

Traditional Fixings for Heritage Work:

  • Cut nails: Floor restoration, external cladding repair
  • Clout nails: Weatherboard and shingle work
  • Countersunk screws: Period-appropriate visible fixings
  • Brass screws: Heritage joinery (windows, doors, architraves)

Modern Hidden Systems:

  • Concealed deck fasteners: Popular for Inner West courtyard renovations
  • Biscuit joiners and fasteners: High-end joinery
  • Structural timber connectors: Engineered timber frames

3. Drywall and Plasterboard Fasteners

Standard Plasterboard:

  • Type 1 (fine thread): Timber framing (most Inner West renovations)
  • Type 2 (coarse thread): Steel framing (modern developments)
  • Collated screws: For auto-feed tools (large projects)
  • Lengths: 25mm-65mm depending on board thickness

Cavity Wall Anchors: Essential for hanging items on plasterboard:

  • Spring toggles: Heavy loads (TV mounts, cabinets)
  • Snaptoggle: Professional-grade hollow wall anchor
  • Metal cavity anchors: Medium loads, reusable
  • Nylon anchors: Light loads (picture frames, decorations)

Specialty Plasterboard:

  • Acoustic-rated screws: Party walls in terraces and apartments
  • Fire-rated screws: Required in multi-unit developments
  • Water-resistant board fixings: Bathrooms and laundries

4. Concrete and Formwork Fasteners

Warehouse Conversions and New Builds:

  • Concrete screws: Direct fix to concrete slabs
