Faster Fixing for Concrete Soffits and Insulation Systems


Modern construction demands faster installation, safer fixing methods, and reliable performance in concrete substrates. The Evolution Fasteners ICS Range has been engineered specifically for fixing acoustic and thermal insulation boards directly into concrete ceilings and soffits.

Built for Concrete Soffit Fixings


The ICS range has been developed for:

  • Concrete soffits

  • Acoustic insulation systems

  • Thermal insulation applications

  • Underground car parks

  • Prestressed concrete

  • Overhead fixing applications


Unlike traditional fixing methods that can be slow and labour-intensive, the ICS range provides a faster and more efficient installation solution for insulation systems.


Why Choose the ICS Range?


Fast, Simple Installation

The ICS self-tapping design eliminates the need for plugs, helping reduce installation time and simplifying overhead work. This allows installers to complete projects more efficiently while reducing tool changes on-site.


Only 25mm Embedment

One of the key advantages of the ICS range is the shallow 25mm embedment depth. This helps reduce the risk of damaging reinforcement within concrete substrates, making the range particularly suitable for prestressed concrete applications.


Large Bearing Surface

The washer head design provides a large bearing surface for secure hold and a cleaner finished appearance when fixing insulation materials. This is especially important in high-performance acoustic and thermal insulation systems where consistent fixing pressure is required.


Engineered for Safety

The ICS range has been designed as a non-combustible fixing solution for fire-rated systems, supporting modern building regulations and compliance requirements across commercial and residential construction.



Designed for Modern Construction


As insulation specifications continue to increase, fixing systems must evolve alongside them. The ICS range now includes longer lengths designed to suit thicker insulation systems and more demanding applications.


Available sizes include:

  • ICS125 — 7.3 x 125mm

  • ICS150 — 7.3 x 150mm

  • ICS175 — 7.3 x 175mm

  • ICS200 — 7.3 x 200mm

  • ICS250 — 7.3 x 250mm

  • ICS300 — 7.3 x 300mm

  • ICS350 — 7.3 x 350mm


The introduction of the 300mm and 350mm options expands the range for thicker insulation build-ups commonly found in modern construction projects.



A Smarter Alternative to Complicated Fixing Methods


Many traditional insulation fixing methods involve:

  • Multiple installation stages

  • Additional plugs or anchors

  • Longer installation times

  • Increased labour costs

The ICS range has been developed to provide a simpler and faster alternative for installers working with concrete insulation systems.
