Corefix - Dot & Dab Wall Fixing Solved

Roger looks at a fast & strong dot n' dab drywall fixing from Corefix.

Dot & Dab Wall Fixing Solution
• Suitable for most modern homes with plasterboard/dot & dab walls
• Trusted and independently tested incredibly strong fixing, 90kg safe working load
• Fast installation, no specialist tools required, drill, 10mm bit, hammer & screwdriver
• For all wall types, brick, block and lightweight concrete

Speed
A bracket can be fixed using Corefix within 50 seconds, watch the video directly above if you don’t believe us, it really is that quick!

Strength-Tested
Product performance has been independently tested and verified. In-house tested to over 250kg on four fixings with a safe working load of 90kg. Test results can be viewed on our technical datasheet.

Where To Use Corefix
The product was developed to safely secure wall hung kitchen cabinets but it will support any heavy load on a dot & dab wall, to include but not exclusively, wall hung cabinets, large screen TVs, boilers, radiators, sanitaryware & heavy duty shelving.

Required for most modern houses
Obtaining a secure fixing to a drylined (dot and dab) wall is notoriously difficult. Corefix solves this problem by securing the load to the solid wall behind, and not to the plasterboard.

Huge Load Rating
Tested to over 250kg (without failure) with a safe working load of 90kg based on 4 x Corefix fixings. Corefix has been independently tested for tensile and sheer strength with its performance verified.

Robust and Dependable
With Corefix the load is supported by the solid wall behind, not the plasterboard. Corefix is well-engineered using quality materials and heavy-duty components, with the metal parts being plated for corrosion resistance.

Superfast installation
Very quick and easy installation with no specialist tools required. All that is needed is a 10mm drill, hammer and screwdriver. The straight-forward fixing system comprised of a patented plug, metal insert and single screw.

Corefix is Ideal for
Wall mounted large screen TV's, wall hung cabinets, shelves, boilers, radiators, sanitaryware and much more! Corefix has been designed for drylined walls but is also suitable for other wall construction types.

No more bowed Plasterboard
Corefix bridges the void between plasterboard and the solid wall behind with STEEL thereby preventing the plasterboard from crushing into the void (as is common with many other types of fixing).

I used Corefix recently for fitting kitchen wall cabinets. Excellent product that gave a really secure fixing.

Just to show I’ll give it a go I’ll go to the builders store tomorrow and buy a box, I’ll give them to my lads and post a review of what they thought of them, so it’ll be a unbiased review roger 👍

Glad you brought this up. I've found fixing heavier items to plasterboard an absolute pain, so will look out for these next time I need to do it again.

[grrinc]

We used them recently. Excellent no nonsense product. The few extra penny's spent are totally worth it. Very efficient working.

[MarcGray]

These things are simply the answer to these walls!!! Solid!!! Can’t really go wrong with them! Go slowly with the screw... don’t beat it to death with an impact driver and hand tighten to feel the pull!

[Beariam]

Used these the other day as a test on my tv wall bracket. Absolutely awesome, will be stocking the vans with these fixings highly recommend

[PashaKai]

You look like Gordon Ramsey a bit :)

Thank you for your videos. You know how to explain, and vievers as myself learn a lot from you. Keep it up!

[Dan-tjft]

I used the blue ones for thermolites to fit my boiler. Excellent fixings.

[loco]

Thanks Roger. I often hang TVs on dot and dab plaster and always have issues fixing using masonry anchors. This is fantastic 👌👌

[Areaca]

A real pro amongst so many wannabes on youtube. Many good tips and correct info. Thank you.

[diggerproud]

Thanks for the video. We’ve just had a radiator come off the wall in a new build. Done by cowboys obviously & having to rectify myself. Will be using these fittings for the job.

[josht]

Very useful product just don't over tighten the screws or they can spin inside the plug

[coolkid]

Hi Roger, From a price point, I imagine a good quality plastic plug and a decent steel screw will work as well, and about 50 times cheaper, love your Vids Roger...

[peterryan]

Brilliant idea this is the second video on these or something very similar i have seen recently, thanks for the tip.

[mattcartwright]

I've tried all manner of fixings over the years for DnD walls. These look a very good option for high load bearing. I don't mind paying extra to ensure something stays on the wall. I also like Gripit fixings for light -medium loads.

[zedman]

These plugs definitely fill a market. Never used them but they seem like a good design. I've personally got away with frame fixings as they have the long sleeve. Also don't know if you remember Roger the old long length of wall plug which you cut to size. Hard to get hold of now but are fantastic.

[johnmackay]

Any idea like this is a great help.Thank goodness there's not a lot of dot and dab walls here in Aberdeen Personally can't stand them. Same with paramount partition. Framing and sheeting all day for me.

[Kosmonooit]

I use an impact screw driver to wind in the screws on fittings such as those - game changer!

[MrJoopKlep]

To bridge a gap behind plasterboard I usually push/hammer a cut to size piece of small diameter steel pipe (such as central heating pipe) in the borehole. Firmly against the hard wall and flush with the board. The screw then (obviously) goes through the piece of pipe tot the plug. Somewhat the same principle IMO, but of course this specialised product is a lot more elegant

[abscomm]

That's a great product, used them for a radiator, solid as a rock!! Not really expensive either.
