⚡ At a Glance
- • Holding Strength: Holds up to 100kg on four fixings, reinforced steel core reduces screw deviation
- • Best for: Mounting flatscreen TVs, radiators, shelving and cabinets on plasterboard over blockwork
- • Not ideal for: Cantilever brackets where lateral forces are concentrated
Reinforced steel core anchors transfer load through the plasterboard into masonry. Independently tested and certified for reliable holding performance.
Secure heavy loads - with a reinforced steel core
A central steel reinforcement keeps screws aligned under load, preventing deviation and concentrating force along the fixing axis. The reinforced core works with the plug geometry to resist pull-out when screws are tightened.
Greater confidence when fixing heavy items, since screws stay true and load is carried into the masonry, not the plaster layer.
Transfers load through the gap - with extended fixing depth
Sufficient depth fills the air gap typical of plasterboard over blockwork and allows the fixing to bridge through to the brick or block behind. Load is routed through the inserted plug into the solid substrate.
Safe, secure mounting on dot-and-dab walls, because weight is taken by the masonry rather than the plasterboard.
Quick, straightforward installation - with basic tools
Installation requires a hammer, drill and screwdriver, following simple insertion and screw-tightening steps. The design avoids specialist anchors or chemical bonding agents.
Suitable for DIYers and professionals who need a reliable fixing without specialist equipment or complex procedures.
