Product Information

Originally designed to safely secure wall hung kitchen cabinets Corefix fixings are now used to support any heavy loads on a hollow cavity wall including: This can result in cold spots on the wall which, in turn can result in condensation and condensation around the window reveals of a dot and dab plaster boarded room is very common. Corefix can be bought from most high street DIY stores today including B&Q, Screwfix and the similar. Using a 4-inch wall plug, with the main body of the plug at a 10mm diameter, the Corefix wall plug is pushed into a 10mm hole. It is not pushed through the plasterboard however as the lip at the head of the plug will prevent that happening.This downside however, is nowhere near as common as the problem of trying to fix heavy objects such as large flat screen TVs and kitchen cupboards to a dot and dab wall. Because it is bent, the downward force of the attached object starts to tilt outward as the image above shows. This stops the force being 100% downwards and moves it to an angle which, after time, starts to pull the screw out of the wall.

This is going to depend on the type of plasterboard wall you are dealing with and the quality of the plasterboard fixings to be used. If your plasterboard wall is a dot and dab wall, then yes definitely you can fix your kitchen wall cabinets to that wall, but only if you use the correct type of wall fixings and for that we recommend Corefix.This clearly depends on the size of the television but with all the major brands such as Sony, Samsung & Panasonic all making flat screen TVs up to a staggering 100 inches and above in some cases, it really is important to know the weight of your TV and know your hollow wall plasterboard fixing will support the load. Below are some approx. weights for standard size wall mounted flat screen TVs* Corefix can be installed in less than one minute, without the need for specialist tools – all you need is a 10mm masonry drill, hammer, and a screwdriver:
