Don't know about better, but I've only used nylon type frame fixings in the past when I've had a masonary house. https://www.screwfix.com/p/timco-nylon-frame-fixings-8-0-x-100mm-100-pack/687kg

I have just used these at 120mm to fix some 6x2 supports to a rendered lightweight block wall. I used a 7.5mm wood bit for the clearance holes, an 8mm masonry bit just to go through the render and then a 6mm for the length of the screw plus 10mm. You may need different if it is concrete block. If you are doing lots, make sure you have a few of the driver bits. I think they are TX30 and there is only 1 in the box.
Conor Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 We used those concrete screws, but 100mm long. You need a bit more depth. Also expanding foam the whole way round.
