In situations where mounting brackets do not align or fit, perforated steel band is used to mount pipes, ducts and lightweight components directly to walls or support surfaces. The galvanised material is supplied in rolls and cut to length during installation. Common in HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), able routing and technical assembly where clamps or rigid connections are unsuitable. Fastening is carried out with screws or bolts placed through the perforations. Tension is absorbed evenly along the band, allowing stable contact on curves and angled surfaces. Used in both temporary configurations and permanent setups that require quick, adjustable support.
For mounting pipes, ducts and light components on walls, ceilings or support frames. Pre-galvanised steel band supplied on roll with continuous perforation. Available in 10 or 25 metre lengths.
Confined spaces, angled runs and suspended setups often require a mounting method that adapts to irregular positioning. Fixing band fills this gap with predictable spacing for fasteners, minimal storage volume and compatibility with uneven mounting points. On-site length adjustment allows support across spans where pre-cut solutions fail. The punched layout helps with alignment during ceiling work or wall routing, and reduces drilling effort in brittle materials. Project engineers rely on the material when time, space or tolerances are limited. Frequently used to secure pipes or air ducts, the band offers a reliable solution for both temporary and permanent configurations. As a fallback option during last-minute changes, it belongs in any professional installer’s core equipment.
Fixing band is often used in situations where tolerances are unclear, mounting points are missing, or measurements cannot be finalised before installation. This flexible strip gives installers full control over positioning, length and tension without being restricted to predefined formats. The regular perforation allows for quick adjustment on-site using standard tools. Supplied on a compact roll, the material is easy to transport and can be reused in temporary configurations. Many professionals choose this solution as a practical alternative to fixed brackets or clamps, especially when speed and adaptability are more important than rigid precision. Often selected as an all-purpose fixing band in steel installations where space or alignment is limited.
Before installation, measure the total length of fixing band needed and allow extra room for overlap and secure fastening. Check whether the surface is wood, concrete or steel to select the right type of fixings, such as plugs, screws or bolts. Use a tape measure and marker to define anchor points clearly and maintain proper spacing. Plan the layout to avoid misalignment and make adjustments easier during mounting. Place the anchors in a straight line to ensure pressure is evenly distributed along the band. Careful preparation reduces installation time and leads to a more stable result.
The fixing band should be cut to the required length using metal shears or a heavy-duty cutter. Mark the cut point beforehand to keep the perforation holes aligned. Make one clean and steady cut to avoid deformation. The edges may be sharp after cutting, so protective gloves are strongly recommended.
Place the fixing band around or alongside the object and fasten the strip using screws, bolts or nails through the perforated holes. Tension must be sufficient to hold the band in place without causing deformation or surface damage. Start fastening from the centre and work outward to keep the tension balanced across the band. On uneven or curved surfaces, adjust slightly to ensure full contact before tightening completely.
After installation, verify that the fixing band sits flush against the surface, without lifted sections or unsecured ends. In applications exposed to vibration or repeated mechanical load, regular inspection is essential. To increase load-bearing capacity, the band is often used in combination with mounting brackets. For lightweight plastic pipework, plastic pipe clips may be more appropriate. Always fold sharp cut ends inward or apply tape to prevent injury during use or maintenance.
Buisklem supplies pre-galvanised fixing bands for installers and distributors who need flexible mounting where brackets cannot be placed. The perforated steel strip is used to secure pipes, cable ducts and structural components in heating systems, ventilation units and technical assemblies. Each roll can be cut to length on site and mounted directly to walls, ceilings or support frames. Distribution is tailored to professionals who rely on standard dimensions, clean roll edges and dependable supply at the installation site.
