Wall Mounting & Fixings
Generally aerated blocks should not
be used to support heavy loads, use
a specialist ftting in this case. For light
loads, general purpose wall plugs can
be used.
For use with heavier loads such as TV
& HiFi speakers and satelite dishes etc.
For use with plasterboard partitions or
hollow wooden doors.
For use when ftting or supporting
heavy loads such as shelving, wall
cabinets and coat racks.
For use with walls stuck with
plasterboard. The hammer fxing allows
it to be fxed to the wall rather than the
plasterboard. Always check the fxing
is secure to the retaining wall.
For use when attaching light loads on
to plasterboard partitions.
When drilling into walls always
1: General rule:
Always use a larger screw and wall plug
if you are not sure.
2: Ensure you use the recommended drill bit to match the wall
plug and hole size.
3: Ensure you drill the hole horizontally, do not force the drill or
enlarge the hole.
4: Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings and ceramic
tiles. Ensure wall plugs are inserted beyond the thickness of
the ceramic tiles to avoid the tiles splitting or cracking.
5: Ensure wall plugs are well ftted and are a tight ft in the
drilled hole.
