Product Information

Full details

This guide is for anyone looking to securely mount heavy items on dot & dab walls using Corefix Connect 100 fixings. The key benefit is a strong, reliable hold by transferring weight directly to the blockwork, bypassing the weakness of plasterboard. A point to note is that you'll need a drill, screwdriver, and hammer for installation. Corefix Connect 100 is a heavy-duty wall fixing system designed for plasterboard over blockwork. It features a patented steel core that bridges the cavity, ensuring a secure and durable mount for various items.

Can I use these fixings for very thin plasterboard?

While suitable for dot & dab plasterboard, extremely thin plasterboard may require additional consideration. Always check the load-bearing capacity of your specific wall.

Troubleshooting

Fixing spins in the wall when tightening.

Ensure the pilot hole is the correct size. If it's too large, use a larger fixing or fill the hole with a suitable filler before re-drilling.

Screw doesn't tighten fully.

Check if the screw is too long for the item being mounted. If so, use a shorter screw or add a spacer.

Item feels unstable after mounting.

Verify all fixings are securely installed and tightened. If the item is heavy, consider adding more fixings.

Fixing doesn't sit flush with the wall.

Make sure the hole is drilled deep enough to accommodate the fixing. Check for obstructions behind the plasterboard.
