Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
For hollow concrete blocks, use heavy-duty frame anchors, cavity toggle bolts, or chemical anchor resin with perforated sleeves. Standard mechanical expansion bolts can slip if the expansion zone opens inside an empty void.
Yes. Under current wiring standards (IS 10101 and BS 7671 18th Edition), all wiring systems suspended across escape routes must be supported by fire-resistant fixings to prevent premature collapse during a fire.
Trade Electric Group stocks a complete range of certified trade fixings across all 18 nationwide branches. You can order online for direct delivery or collect instantly at trade fixings direct supply depots in Waterford, Limerick, Dublin, Kilkenny, and Cork.
Use metal self-drilling plasterboard fixings or heavy-duty cavity toggles engineered with anti-rotation fins. Ensure your pilot hole is accurately sized (or avoid pre-drilling when using self-drilling drive bits).
Use fixings designed for plasterboard or cavity walls and match them to the board thickness, cavity depth, load and type of movement. For heavier or safety critical work, fixing into suitable structural support may be preferable. Always follow the exact manufacturer data.
Standard masonry wall plugs are designed primarily for solid materials and are not the default choice for hollow plasterboard. Use a plasterboard or cavity fixing where the wall construction requires it.
Most standard drop in anchors require the matching setting tool so the internal expander is fully set in the drilled hole. Check the product instructions before installation.
Start with the substrate, then use the drill diameter and screw diameter stated for the exact plug. The plug should fit the drilled hole correctly and the screw must be long enough to pass through the fixture and achieve the required embedment.
Choose a product and finish rated for the actual exposure. Stainless steel or other corrosion resistant options may be required for wet, external or coastal environments. Follow the product and project specification rather than assuming all plated fixings are suitable outdoors.
