Although most anchors are not tested in stone, you may still be able to successfully anchor to it. Stone: Since there are a large variety and different types of stone that occur naturally, first identify the hardness and characteristics of the stone, then match them up with the type of anchor needed.
Solid Concrete: Exhibits the highest pull-out resistance, but may have limitations due to steel bars, cable or wire mesh embedded in the concrete.Solid Core - concrete, brick and mortar, stone, solid cinder block and wood. Exhibits relatively high pull-out depending on the compressive strength of the block. Hollow Core Concrete Block: Commonly used in basements and commercial properties.Exhibits relatively good pull-out resistance. Plaster and Lath: Thin wooden strips (lath) nailed to the studs or ceiling beams with low-density plaster applied over them.Exhibits relatively low pull-out resistance. Drywall: A low-density material formed between sheets of paper and used primarily for covering studded walls and ceilings.Hollow Core - drywall, plasterboard, sheetrock, particle board, wafer board, plywood, plaster and lath, tile, glass, metal, fiberglass, plastic and concrete block. Is your base material solid or hollow core?.Density and Strength of the Base Material.Determining the properties of your base material will allow you to safely and successfully anchor your fixture. Every type of base material has its own limitations and advantages.What are the characteristics of the base material?.
