Zinc Plated Steel Mushroom Head Strike Anchors
What are mushroom head strike anchors? Mushroom head strike anchors are strike anchors with a low, domed mushroom head that holds a fixture flat against the surface. Set with hammer strikes into a pre-drilled hole, they expand for a permanent hold, making them the general-purpose strike anchor for fastening to concrete, block, and brick.
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.
