Masonry Screws Evolution Blue with Evoshield 500HR Coating

Masonry Screws Evolution Blue with Evoshield 500HR Coating are high‑performance, heavy‑duty concrete
and masonry screws designed for fast, reliable fixing into concrete, brick, block and stone –
without the need for traditional plugs. The advanced blue Evoshield 500HR corrosion‑resistant
coating offers long‑lasting performance in demanding internal and external environments, making
these masonry anchors ideal for professional trade use.

Evolution Blue Masonry Screws with Evoshield 500HR Coating are purpose‑designed concrete screws
for rapid, safe and dependable fixing into a wide range of masonry substrates. Unlike traditional
plug‑and‑screw systems, these anchors cut their own mating thread directly into the base material,
enabling quicker installation and a more secure, vibration‑resistant connection.

The specialised hardened steel core and deep cutting thread provide excellent pull‑out and shear
performance when installed correctly into suitable concrete or brickwork. The distinctive blue
Evoshield 500HR coating delivers advanced corrosion resistance, making these fixings well suited
to both internal and many external applications, including damp or semi‑exposed environments
(subject to project design and local conditions).

Common uses include fixing brackets, conduit clips, trunking, unistrut, timber battens, door
frames, window frames, handrails, light structural supports and a wide range of building
components directly to masonry. With no need for plugs and only a single installation step
after drilling the pilot hole, Evolution Blue Masonry Screws help speed up work on site while
maintaining consistent, professional results.

Typical Use Cases

• Fixing timber battens or grounds to concrete and brick walls for drylining or cladding systems.
• Securing metal brackets, cable trays, trunking and pipe clips to concrete soffits and walls.
• Anchoring door frames, window frames and thresholds to masonry reveals.
• Mounting handrails, guardrails, balustrade bases and light structural components (subject to engineering approval).
• General M&E and first‑fix installations where quick, reliable masonry fixings are required.

Installation & Usage Tips

• Drill correct pilot hole: Use a suitable masonry drill bit of the diameter specified for the screw size. A tight‑tolerance pilot is essential for performance.
• Correct embedment depth: Ensure the screw penetrates sufficiently into sound masonry (as per manufacturer’s guidance) after allowing for fixture thickness and any clearance.
• Clean the hole: Remove dust and debris from the drilled hole (e.g. by blowing out or vacuuming) to maximise holding power.
• Avoid weak substrates: Do not install into cracked, severely weakened or friable masonry without checking suitability. Use alternative fixings where required.
• Driving method: Use a suitable impact driver or drill/driver with the correct bit type. Drive the screw steadily – do not exceed recommended torque to avoid overtightening or stripping the substrate.
• Edge and spacing distances: Observe minimum edge distances and spacing between fixings as per the technical data sheet to maintain load capacity.
• External exposure: While Evoshield 500HR offers enhanced corrosion protection, always confirm suitability for your specific exposure class and design life requirements.

Technical Information (Typical)

Exact values vary by diameter and length; always refer to the specific product label or
manufacturer’s technical data sheet for the screw you are using. Typical characteristics of
Masonry Screws Evolution Blue with Evoshield 500HR Coating include:

• Type: High‑performance masonry / concrete screw anchor.
• Base materials: Cracked and non‑cracked concrete, solid brick, dense block and some natural stone (check suitability and approvals).
• Material: Hardened carbon steel with advanced protective coating.
• Finish: Evolution Blue Evoshield 500HR corrosion‑resistant coating for enhanced durability.
• Head types (typical): Hex head or countersunk/torx head options for surface‑mounted or flush‑finish fixings (confirm for your variant).
• Driving recess: Commonly hex or Torx/Star drive, providing secure engagement and reduced cam‑out.
• Installation: Pre‑drilled pilot hole, through‑fixing or stand‑off fixing depending on application.
• Performance: Designed to meet relevant European guidance for masonry screw anchors – always consult load tables and safety factors in the official data sheet.

For detailed data such as recommended drill diameters, embedment depths, characteristic load
values, and partial safety factors, refer to the Evolution technical documentation and any
applicable ETA / EN performance reports.

Masonry Screws Evolution Blue With Evoshield 500HR Coating Key Features

Masonry Screws Evolution Blue With Evoshield 500HR Coating Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Common Uses / How to Use

To achieve the best results with Masonry Screws Evolution Blue with Evoshield 500HR Coating:

1. Mark the fixing positions and ensure minimum edge distances and spacing are observed.
2. Select the correct masonry drill bit size for the screw diameter and base material.
3. Drill a straight pilot hole to the required depth, allowing for fixture thickness and embedment.
4. Clean the hole thoroughly to remove dust and debris.
5. Position the fixture (e.g. bracket, batten, frame) over the hole.
6. Insert the screw through the fixture and drive it into the hole using a suitable driver bit.
7. Tighten until the fixture is firmly clamped without overtightening or stripping the substrate.
