Best fixing into concrete

[noseall]

You're just to lazy to drill the window frame correctly and use packers like the professionals do.
Same with the batten and the multi fix screw. Drill the correct clearance hole.

Jeezuz you are backwards. Come and join us in the 'new' century.

Why would you encourage someone to faff about pre-drilling clearance holes when all they need do is drill right through the work-piece and into the floor then hammer in a plug and screw in a screw.

Is this how they are still doing things in the Province?

No we don't faff around with brown plugs in concrete as superior methods are available.
Methods that don't fail at the slightest pull!

You go for speed with failure risk built in. We go for the permanent solution.

Btw the fastest method and cheapest for battening on formwork operations is an 7mm hole and a 4" and 3" nail drive in side by side.
Very commonly used by formwork joiners.
That beats your plastic plug for holding power and speed of installation by a long margin.

You know that's funny because in Spring we demolished a building and used the digger bucket to 'nip' off a batten fixed to the wall with plugs and screws. It snapped at the screw and left it behind.

Agree there are superior methods available even more superior than concrete screws.

What is your (long winded) point? What (if any) are the pull out force resistance tolerances for boxing in? Surely a sole plate fixed to a floor needs to resist mostly shear?

You have lost the plot Norcs.
