Examples include granite, marble, travertine, fiber cement, HPL, solid surface, tempered glass, and composite panels. In some fiber cement boards, the insert can also be used, but testing is recommended first.

It is a press-in threaded insert that creates a permanent internal stainless steel thread in panels made of natural stone, composite, HPL, glass, and other solid-surface materials — requiring only a standard cylindrical hole.
