GYP-GRIP Insulation Fasteners
Drywall available now. Wood, metal and concrete launching soon.
Patent Pending — USA & CanadaGYP-GRIP comes in four variants, each designed for a specific substrate. Every unit is a one-piece molded fastener with an embedded captive screw, an ACME milling tip for self-drilling through foam, and a snap-on thermal-break cap. All four install the same way — see the three-step installation guide or how GYP-GRIP compares with gas-actuated fasteners. Choose the right variant below.
