Perforated base pins
A perforated base uses a formed metal plate with regularly arranged openings. Confirm the plate shape, hole pattern, dimensions and thickness against the intended adhesive, mastic or embedding method.
Perforated & Mesh Base Pins
Choose a perforated or mesh base pin for insulation fixing systems that require the bonding material to engage with the base.
The pin is attached to a formed metal base with openings that allow the specified adhesive, mastic or embedding material to pass through or around the base. Select the base structure, pin material and dimensions for the installation method and insulation thickness.

Product details
Perforated or
mesh base.
Perforated and mesh bases provide open areas through which the specified bonding or embedding material can engage with the mounting plate. The correct option depends on the installation method, surface and project specification.
Mesh base pins
A mesh base uses an open metal mesh around the pin. Confirm the mesh dimensions, opening size, wire dimensions and edge structure for the specified bonding or embedding material.
Installation Requirements
Bonding perforated
and mesh base pins.
Perforated and mesh base pins are selected as part of a complete fixing method. Performance depends on the base geometry, bonding or embedding material, mounting surface, insulation and installation conditions.
The bonding material must be compatible with both the base and the substrate. Surface preparation, application thickness, coverage, setting time and service conditions should follow the confirmed material instructions.

Order planning
Base pin lead time
and packing.
- Standard specifications Per order
- Depends on order quantity and the production schedule; confirmed with your quotation.
- Custom specifications Per order
- Depends on order quantity and the production schedule; confirmed with your quotation.
- Surface treatment Contact IFS
- Additional processing time may apply. Contact IFS to confirm.
Packaging should protect the pin straightness, base shape, perforations and mesh edges during transport and storage. Confirm carton limits, separators, pallet or wooden case requirements and custom labelling before production.
Lead times and packing details are confirmed with the quotation and order.
Before you order
Perforated and mesh base pin FAQs.
Share your specification, quantity and any welding or documentation requirements.
What is the difference between perforated and mesh base pins?
Both have a 50 × 50 mm square base with openings for the bonding material. The perforated base is a 0.35 mm plate with 3 mm holes; the mesh base is 0.3 mm with 3.8 mm openings.
Which pin materials and diameters are available?
Perforated base: 2.3 or 2.7 mm aluminium, or 3 mm galvanized or copper-plated steel. Mesh base: 2.3 mm aluminium. Stainless steel pins and bases can be made to order.
What lengths can be made?
19 to 500 mm. Confirm whether the length is measured from the top surface of the base.
How are perforated base pins installed?
The base is bedded in an adhesive, mastic or embedding material that passes through the openings. Choose a material compatible with the base and the substrate, and follow its instructions.
What should I include in an enquiry?
Include the base style, pin material, diameter, length, mounting surface, bonding method and quantity.
