Best plaster board fixings DEBATE

[tommy1712]

What's the best fixing for plaster board, what's the strongest, easiest, versatile.

I like the the self drilling rawl ones. Don't even have to drill a hole lol

Depends what you are fixing. Cant beat getting in behind it with some timber.

 

[AWheating]

what you fixing? weight?

 

[tommy1712]

Not fixing nothing at the min just seeing what others like and a bit of banter over it

 

[GasmanxxxR1]

I like the anchor type ones you use with the fixing gun

 

[gassafe]

Those drilling are s@@@e the fixing always unscrews from the wall when you undo the screw!

Fisher umbrella fixing every time for anything with weight!

 

[tommy1712]

Do they?? I don't think I have ever undone one lol

Get a bit of timber in if possible. If not possible then Thorsmann duomax toggles. Or if the wall is dry lined ....frame fixings

 

[tommy1712]

Timber don't exist only fixings

 

[Neil K]

Get some timber in if possible is what I said

one thing i always point out is when fixing to plasterboard always drill the hole ive seen so many fixings fail and its usually due to the hole being banged through with a screwdriver leave a nice small hole on the front and a huge crater behind so nothing for the fixing to grip to
