Wavey fixing band is one of those things that earns its keep quietly. It sits in the back of the van, gets cut to length in seconds, and holds things in place that nothing else would manage as neatly. This galvanised wavey fixing band comes in a 10m cassette roll, available in 12mm and 17mm widths, and the pre-punched holes mean you are not faffing around drilling through steel on site. Cut it, bend it, screw it down — job done.
The wavy profile is not just for looks. The corrugated form along the length gives the band a degree of flexibility without sacrificing strength, so it conforms around pipes, joists, and awkward angles far more willingly than flat strap. That said, it still holds firm once fixed. Medium duty is the honest description here — this is not structural ironwork, but for support, restraint, and lightweight fixing applications it does exactly what is needed.
Where Galvanised Wavey Fixing Band Gets Used on Site
This type of fixing band turns up across roofing, carpentry, plumbing, and general building work. Joist support and restraint is probably the most common use — running a length across to hold timbers in position before the floor goes down takes seconds with this. Beyond that, it works well for securing pipes and conduit to walls, bundling materials for temporary restraint, and any number of small fixing jobs where a purpose-made bracket would be overkill.
Corrosion Resistance for Exposed Locations
The hot-dip galvanised finish gives reasonable protection against moisture and corrosion, making this suitable for use in loft spaces, roof structures, and other areas where conditions are not exactly dry and controlled. It is not rated for permanent external immersion, but for the kinds of locations fixing band typically ends up in, the galvanised coating is more than adequate and should outlast the timbers it is holding in place.
The cassette roll keeps the band tidy and manageable on site, which anyone who has wrestled with a loose roll of metal strap will appreciate. Ten metres goes further than you think, and at this price it makes sense to keep a couple of rolls to hand.
Pro Tip: When cutting fixing band on site, a pair of tin snips gives a clean edge with no sharp burr — using a grinder or angle cutting disc tends to leave a ragged edge that will snag on everything including your hands.
Galvanised wavey fixing band is used across general construction, carpentry, and first fix work wherever a flexible steel strap is needed for support or restraint. It is widely used to support and tie floor and roof joists, secure pipes and conduit to timber or masonry, and anchor lightweight structural elements during build. Roofers use it for fixing roof battens and securing components in confined spaces where a bracket simply will not fit. The pre-punched holes accept standard screws and bolts, making it compatible with most fixing methods used on a typical site.

Not suitable for: Not intended for primary structural fixing or load-bearing applications. Not suitable for permanent immersion or contact with highly corrosive chemicals.
Unroll the required length from the cassette and cut to size using tin snips or metal shears. The wavy profile bends easily by hand or with pliers for shaped runs. Fix through the pre-punched holes using appropriate screws or bolts for the substrate — timber, masonry or steel as required. No drilling through the band is needed in most cases as the punched holes are spaced for typical fixing centres.
Select the appropriate width for the job — 12mm for lighter restraint work, 17mm where more bearing area is needed.
Pull the required length from the cassette roll and cut cleanly using tin snips.
Bend the band to shape by hand or with pliers to suit the fixing route.
Align the pre-punched holes with your fixing positions on the substrate.
Secure through the holes using suitable screws or bolts — avoid overtightening on thin timber.
Trim any excess length and fold back any sharp cut edges before the area is enclosed.
What is the difference between the 12mm and 17mm fixing band?
The difference is simply width. The 17mm band offers a slightly larger bearing area and marginally more rigidity when bent, making it better suited for heavier restraint jobs or where you need the band to span a wider section. The 12mm is fine for lighter pipe support, conduit restraint, and general first fix work where space is tighter.
Can this fixing band be used externally or in exposed roof spaces?
The galvanised coating gives good corrosion resistance for use in loft spaces, roof voids, and similar semi-exposed conditions. It is not recommended for direct external weathering or wet environments where it would be constantly exposed to moisture, but for typical internal fixing applications it performs reliably over the long term.
Manufactured from mild steel with a galvanised coating for corrosion protection, this wavey fixing band uses a corrugated longitudinal profile to combine flexibility with adequate rigidity in use. Pre-punched holes are spaced at regular intervals along the band to accept standard fixings without modification. Supplied in a 10m cassette roll in 12mm and 17mm widths.
