Concrete screws or anchors?

[FiveKnuckleShuffle]

Morning all,
I'm putting in a Newel post for a staircase and its a concrete floor.

I've bought a bulldog fixing as shown where the post will be recessed for it to locate in the bottom.

Fixing this bulldog to the concrete floor I automatically thought to use anchors as have always had success with them but people seem to be guiding me to concrete screws which I have no experience of.

Does any of you guys have any experience with concrete screws. Are they worth exploring for this kind of install?

Thanks in advance.

If by anchors you mean Rawl bolts stick with them. Concrete screws have their uses (close to edges where there's a risk of bursting etc) but not necessary for your situation and I'd say not as strong.

This is an anchor matey. Rawl is just a manufacturer that do all kinds.

If by anchors you mean expansive bolts. ie the ones with the wedge that gets pulled forward to tighten the fixing. Yes use them.

Not hammerfix type, or plug type or concrete screws, as these have less pullout resistance.
