Q: What is the difference between A7+ and C6+?
A7+: Most versatile quick cure adhesive solution for light, medium, and heavy-duty concrete and masonry anchoring.
C6+: Best-in-class performance adhesive for your most heavy duty and specialty applications .
Q: Can I install Red Head adhesives in wet conditions?
A: Red Head Adhesives are approved for installation in all water conditions.

The ITW Screens and umbrellas are design for hollow connections. Note that the screens should not be interchangeable between manufactures. Please only use Red head accessories for hollow masonry connections.
Q: What are the advantages of using adhesives vs. mechanical anchors?
A: Adhesives have better spacing, the anchors can be installed closer together and closer to the edge of a slab. Adhesives are stronger in some case and be a preferred option if the load is vibratory, or if you need higher resistance.
