A fixing band, also known as strapping or metal strapping, is a versatile metal strip that is used in construction, plumbing, and other applications to secure and hold objects in place. It is typically made from galvanized steel, stainless steel, or other durable materials, and comes in various widths and thicknesses to accommodate different needs.

Fixing band can be used for a variety of applications, including:

Securing pipes and ductwork: Fixing band can be wrapped around pipes and ductwork to hold them in place and prevent movement or vibration.

Reinforcing masonry: Fixing band can be used to reinforce masonry walls, particularly at corners or junctions where the walls meet.

Strengthening timber structures: Fixing band can be used to strengthen timber structures, such as roof trusses or wall frames, by holding them securely in place.

Sealing joints: Fixing band can be used to seal joints between materials, such as between flashing and roofing or between ductwork and vents.

Hanging fixtures: Fixing band can be used to hang light fixtures, HVAC equipment, or other objects from ceilings or walls.
