The reliable fastening solution for demanding B2B applications
Ceiling screws, also known as Ceiling tensioning screws These are specialized connecting elements for the secure and flexible bracing of structures between ceiling and floor. With their characteristic rotating plate With their robust hexagonal drive, these technical fasteners offer the perfect solution for professional applications in Shopfitting, exhibition stand construction, display construction and shelving construction.
What are ceiling tension screws?
Ceiling tension screws are high-quality fasteners that consist of several components:
- Hex bolt with metric thread (typically M10 x 55mm to M10 x 60mm) made of galvanized steel
- Rotating plate made of steel (galvanised) or plastic (polyamide)
- Centering tip for precise positioning
The special feature lies in the 360° rotating plate, which allows for flexible adjustment to different surfaces and angles. This ensures optimal hold and even pressure distribution on sensitive materials such as plasterboard ceilings, wooden ceilings or panels.
