Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best fixing to use for heavy items on plasterboard?
What is the best fixing to use for heavy items on plasterboard?
For heavier items like TV brackets or shelving on hollow cavity walls, we recommend using metal spring toggles or heavy-duty hollow wall anchors. They expand broadly behind the plasterboard to spread the load across a much wider surface area than a standard plug.
Can I use standard nylon wall plugs in a hollow cavity wall?
Can I use standard nylon wall plugs in a hollow cavity wall?
Standard expansion plugs need a solid material (like brick or concrete) to compress against. For cavity walls, you should choose a specialized cavity plug or a multi-purpose nylon fixing that is specifically designed to knot or collapse into a ball behind the plasterboard.
What size drill bit should I use for cavity fixings?
What size drill bit should I use for cavity fixings?
It depends entirely on the specific fixing you choose. Cavity fixings, especially toggle bolts, often require a slightly larger hole than standard plugs so the toggle mechanism can push through the wall. Always check the product packaging for the exact drill bit diameter required before drilling.
