Zinc Plated Steel Mushroom Head Strike Anchors

When to use a mushroom head strike anchor

The mushroom head is the standard, general-purpose strike anchor head: a low, rounded dome that bears on the fixture and holds it flat against the base material. It suits the broad range of fixtures, brackets, and fittings where you simply need to pin something to concrete quickly and permanently. The anchor installs the strike way, hammered into a hole the same diameter as the anchor so the body expands against the wall. The low profile keeps the head unobtrusive on the finished surface. Zinc plated steel gives corrosion resistance for indoor and general use, with stainless or coated options for harsher exposure.

Why choose mushroom head strike anchors

• General purpose: the standard strike head for most fixtures.
