Corefix Connect at Howdens HQ – Showcasing the Best Dot & Dab Fixings

We’re excited to be at Howdens HQ this week, supporting our partner TIMCO at an exclusive event for Howdens branch staff.

With our Corefix Connect dot & dab wall fixings stocked in all 800+ Howdens branches, we’re here to educate their store staff on why it’s the best dot & dab wall fixing available. By showcasing its patented steel core design and outstanding load ratings, we’re ensuring the Howdens teams have the knowledge they need to confidently recommend it to their trade customers!

Fixing to modern dot & dab walls (plasterboard attached over blockwork with a gap between them) can be tricky, so it’s important for store staff to be able to advise their customers on the right fixings designed for dot & dab walls. Plain plasterboard fixings may not always reliably hold heavy items, while anchoring into the masonry with regular frame fixings may cause the plasterboard to crush inwards when the screw is tightened.

With its unique engineered steel core, Corefix Connect transfers the load to the solid block behind the plasterboard. This ensures the weight is held by the blockwork without having to rely on the plasteboard, while also preventing the plasterboard from crushing into the void.
