Function in construction

Fixing the components to the support

The fixings attach the starter profiles to the façade support, mount plasterboard structures and connect wooden elements. They are different from ETICS dowels, which specifically fix insulation boards.

Tapit is the reference fixing for ETICS starter profiles: it fixes the profile to the support with a maximum spacing of 30 cm between fixing points.

Selection criteria: application and target material

The choice of fixing depends on two variables: the component to be fixed and the material of the support. Tapit 6×25 mm for profiles on standard supports. Tapit 6×37 mm for supports with irregularities or when spacers are used. Fine thread drywall screws for metal profiles up to 0.7 mm, coarse thread for wood.

Self-drilling for metal profiles thicker than 0.7 mm, without the need for pre-drilling.

Application of fixings

Procedure for attaching starter profiles to the support

The starter profile is fixed to the support with a tapit every 30 cm maximum. The size of the tapit (6×25 mm or 6×37 mm) depends on the thickness of the profile and the characteristics of the support. In the case of supports with irregularities, spacers are used between the profile and the wall, requiring a longer tapit.

Fixing the profiles to the support precedes gluing the insulation boards. The levelling of the profiles must be checked before starting to apply the insulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Technical questions about fixings

01    What's the difference between tapit and an ETICS bushing?

The tapit fixes the starter profiles to the façade support. The ETICS dowel fixes the insulation boards to the substrate. These are components with different functions, applied at different stages of the work.

Tapit 6×25 mm for profiles on standard supports. Tapit 6×37 mm when spacers are used or the support has irregularities. Maximum spacing between fixings: 30 cm.

Fine thread for fixing to metal profiles up to 0.7 mm thick. Coarse thread for fixing to wooden structures. The fine thread grips the thin metal; the coarse thread grips the wood fibre.

When fixing to metal profiles thicker than 0.7 mm. The drill bit pierces the metal during screwing, eliminating the need for pre-drilling.

The tapits follow standard dimensions (6 mm in diameter) and are compatible with the profiles and systems currently on the Portuguese market.
