Product Information

Full details

The GeeFix Plasterboard Cavity Wall Fixings are designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing to securely mount heavy items on hollow plasterboard walls. Their key benefit is the exceptional load-bearing capacity of 270Kg per fixing, allowing for the installation of items like flat-screen TVs and radiators. A potential caveat is the need for a cavity depth of at least 30mm for effective insertion.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight each GeeFix can hold?

Each GeeFix plasterboard cavity wall fixing can support a load of up to 270Kg.

What is the minimum cavity depth required for these fixings?

The minimum cavity depth required is 30mm due to the curved backplate design.

Can these fixings be used in solid walls?

No, these fixings are specifically designed for hollow plasterboard walls and cavities.

How many fixings are included in a pack?

A standard pack contains 8 GeeFix fixings.

Can I use these fixings to mount a radiator?

Yes, the high load capacity makes them ideal for installing heavy items such as radiators.

What is the benefit of the extra fixing points on the backplate?

The extra fixing points allow for more precise installation of smaller items where standard fixing points might not align correctly.

What color are the GeeFix fixings?

The GeeFix fixings are red.

Troubleshooting

Fixing does not engage securely in the cavity.

Ensure the cavity depth is sufficient (minimum 30mm) and the drilled hole is the correct size for the fixing. Verify the backplate is not obstructed.

Screw will not tighten into the fixing.

Check that the correct size screw is being used. Ensure the screw is aligned with the fixing's pre-drilled hole and not at an angle. The fixing must be fully seated against the wall surface.

The item being mounted feels unstable.

Confirm that the maximum load capacity of 270Kg per fixing is not exceeded. Use multiple fixings for heavier items and ensure all fixings are properly seated and secured.
