Cavity Fixings

Cavity fixings are used when attaching objects or overhead applications to plasterboards, plaster and lathe. Cavity fixings are designed to increase the area of plasterboard which is placed under pressure by the object attached to it. They have expanding wings that spread over a wide area, which enables them to support hanging objects such as wall clocks, wall cabinets and shelving units. Once the cavity is drilled and fitted into the wall, the wings expand and they grip tightly to the other side of the wall, securing your attachment. When selecting which cavity fixings to use, it is important to consider the weight of the load you are attaching to the wall. Typically, plastic or metal screw fixings are suitable for light loads, plastic anchors or spring toggles are for medium loads and metal spring toggles are for heavy loads.
