Trusted Building Fixings Solutions in Pitstone
Established in 2004, Squirrel Fixings has revolutionised the architectural and design industries with our patented fixing solutions for solid surfaces. Our founder, Kevin Hoy, identified a critical gap in reliable mechanical fixings for solid surfaces in 2003, leading to the development of our globally patented Squirrel Fixings. Rigorously tested by FIRA, our products demonstrate exceptional strength, supporting up to 450kg per fixing. We have supplied over one million units worldwide, enabling award-winning projects such as the Trifolium Pavilion in Sydney.Sustainability is central to our operations, with fixings manufactured from 100% recycled materials, diverting two tonnes of waste annually from landfills. Our solutions reduce fabrication costs by up to 50% for applications including Corian wall cladding, furniture assembly, and high-traffic environments like museums and restaurants. Headquartered in Pitstone, we serve architects, designers, and fabricators seeking cost-effective, durable components for complex projects.
