Procut wood construction screws now supported by EasyFix
Rawlplug’s proprietary application has just received another specialised calculation category – Wood construction screws.
Enabling high-precision calculations to be performed in real time, the free-of-charge EasyFix application allows users to adapt the parameters of fixings and fixtures to the real-life needs at hand. The software uses Rawlplug’s signature engineering method based on the latest international guidelines as well as long years of experience and research of our experts, making it possible to design even the most complex anchoring systems. The compliance of the calculations with Eurocode 1995-1-1 is a guarantee of the highest safety standards.
Continuously updated by Rawlplug’s Technical Support engineers, the EasyFix software currently consists of five area-specific categories:
- Anchors
- Post-installed rebar
- Wind calculations
- Roads and bridges
- Wood construction screws

Which screws for wood? How to drive screws? Ask EasyFix
Using the new EasyFix category, the app users can easily optimise their project and avoid unnecessary investment. All they need to do is select a layout and the program will calculate the right number of screws and indicate their optimal distribution.
Right from the start, the Wood construction screws category offers the following four modules:
- General connection – most typical connections between two wooden elements or between steel and wooden elements
- Side to main joist connection – specific arrangement of joined elements, e.g. floor beams
- and two other modules – Support reinforcement and Notch reinforcement – where the screw is not used as a connecting piece, but as an element that reinforces an existing or planned wooden structure.

Similarly to all other EasyFix categories, Wood Screws will also be expanded in the future with further modules, layouts and dedicated solutions.
Customer support also means support for R&D
As an integral part of Rawlplug’s Research and Development area, the Technical Support department makes an actual day-to-day impact on the continuous improvement of our products and on further innovations being added to the offering. The launch of the new EasyFix calculation category is also of great importance in this respect.
