Chipboard fixings, also known as particleboard fixings, are essential components for securing chipboard sheets together or attaching them to other materials. Chipboard is made from compressed wood particles bonded together with adhesive, making it a cost-effective and versatile building material. However, chipboard is not as strong as solid wood and requires appropriate fixings to ensure a secure and long-lasting connection.

Nuts are used alongside bolts to secure components together. The nut’s internal threads allow it to fit onto the bolt’s shaft, creating a tight connection when tightened. There are several types of nuts, including hex nuts, lock nuts, and wing nuts. Lock nuts are designed to resist loosening under vibration, making them well-suited for applications in dynamic environments. Wing nuts, with their unique design, can be easily tightened or loosened by hand, making them useful in situations where frequent adjustments are necessary.

Tek screws are specialized screws designed with a drill point that allows them to drill through materials, eliminating the need for pre-drilling holes. Named after the brand Tek, which first popularized them, these screws are available in various sizes and materials—most commonly steel and stainless steel—making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including metal and wood cladding.
