In construction and industrial applications, ensuring that anchors are secure and reliable is critical for safety and longevity. Whether you are working with concrete, brick, or stone, Coburn-Myers provides top-quality expansion shields designed to offer superior anchoring strength. When fastening into materials that are traditionally too weak to hold screws or bolts on their own, expansion shields offer the perfect solution by ensuring a strong, dependable grip.

What Are Expansion Shields?

Expansion shields are fastening devices crafted to anchor screws or bolts into materials like concrete, masonry, or stone. These shields come in various types, typically made from durable metal, and work by expanding as a screw or bolt is driven into them. This expansion creates increased friction between the shield and the material, resulting in a robust and secure hold.

How Expansion Shields Work:

1. Drilling the Hole: A hole is first drilled into the material where the fastener is needed.
2. Inserting the Shield: The expansion shield is then placed into the pre-drilled hole.
3. Expansion Upon Fastening: When the screw or bolt is driven in, the shield expands, pressing tightly against the sides of the hole, creating a firm grip that prevents the fastener from pulling out.
