Fixings for Tiled Cavity Walls

Aug 29, 2004 2 Replies

I am looking for recommendations on fixings for tiled plasterboard walls. The walls are "paramount" construction which means plaster board with cardboard egg crating between -- so no good looking for studs!



I tend to favour the metal type fixings in plain plaster board - the type that deform in the cavity and leave a captive nut so that the fixing can be undone and re-made if necesary. However these have a faceplate with "teeth" to key into the face of the plaster to prevent the whole thing revolving - no good on tiles of course.



I am hoping to use fixings to secure:



Bathroom accessories:



Towel rail Soap dish Toothbrush holder Shower screen maybe



So some items will require quite serious fixings.



Any recommendations on fixing types etc appreciated.



TIA

If it was me, and I had one of these, I'd spend a few moments with an angle grinder, remove the teeth, and use adhesive. There is probably a right way.

Try these, they work quite well.
