Installation Notes (Best Practice)
For best results, always ensure the plasterboard is sound and not blown, damp, or excessively crumbly. Screw the fixing in neatly so it sits flush; then drive in your screw smoothly. Avoid overtightening, as this can damage plasterboard and reduce holding power. Because plasterboard varies by thickness and condition (e.g., standard board vs. insulated board, repaired areas, older board), it’s wise to test a fixing on-site before committing to multiple installations especially if the item will carry a sustained load.

Technical Considerations (Important)

Plasterboard fixings are highly dependent on:
– Board thickness (commonly 9.5mm or 12.5mm in the UK)
– Cavity behind the board and presence of insulation
– Load type (shear load vs. pull-out load)
– Fixing position (edges and joints reduce strength)
If you’re fixing anything heavy, high-value, or safety-critical, consider locating a timber stud (often C16/C24 structural timber in stud walls) or using a specialist heavy-duty cavity fixing. Always follow good building practice and manufacturer guidance for load ratings and suitability.

Unifix Boardmaster Nylon Plasterboard Fixings Questions & Answers People Ask (FAQs)

1) Do Unifix Boardmaster fixings come with screws?
No. This boxed pack contains 100 fixings only. Use a 3.5-4.0mm multipurpose screw (recommended). Choose the screw length to suit the thickness of the item you’re fixing.

2) What size screw should I use with Boardmaster plasterboard fixings?
A 3.5-4.0mm multipurpose screw is recommended. In practice, many users select a 4.0mm screw for a more substantial bite, but a site test is advised due to varying plasterboard types and conditions.

3) Can I use these fixings in dot-and-dab walls?
They are intended for plasterboard. In dot-and-dab construction, there may be gaps and adhesive dabs behind the board, which can affect performance. Yes, these fixings are suitable for plasterboard in dot-and-dab construction. However, because the fixing is 28mm long, you must ensure a minimum cavity depth of 30mm from the face of the plasterboard to the brick or blockwork behind it.
If the fixing hits an adhesive “dab” or the gap is too shallow, it will not seat correctly. For the best results, we recommend checking your cavity depth before installation to ensure the fixing has enough space to deploy fully within the void.

4) Are these suitable for heavy shelves or TVs?
Generally, plasterboard fixings are best for lightweight to medium-duty applications depending on board condition and load direction. For heavy items like TVs, large shelves, radiators, or grab rails, it’s best to fix into studs (often C24 timber in modern studwork) or use a heavy-duty cavity fixing system with appropriate load ratings.

5) Why does my fixing spin or pull out of the plasterboard?
Common causes include:
– The plasterboard is damaged, damp or crumbly
– The fixing has been over tighten and spun too loose
– The screw is too small or the fixing is overtightened
– The load is creating excessive pull-out force
Try relocating to sound board, ensure a snug fit, use the recommended screw size, and avoid overtightening.
