UNIFIX Boardmaster Plasterboard Fixings – Box 100

Plasterboard cavity fixings are one of those things you get through fast on a busy site, so having a reliable box of 100 to hand matters. The Unifix Boardmaster is a straightforward expanding cavity anchor designed specifically for plasterboard walls and ceilings. It accepts any 6g to 10g screw, which covers the vast majority of what you’d be hanging — light shelves, mirror fixings, cable clips, door stops, curtain tracks, and plenty more besides.

What sets these apart from some of the fiddlier alternatives on the market is that no special insertion tool is required. You pre-drill a 6mm hole, push the fixing in by hand, and drive your screw. As the screw tightens, the anchor expands behind the board, spreading the load against the rear face of the plasterboard. It’s a clean, repeatable process that doesn’t require a degree in origami or a bag full of specialist kit.

Where Boardmaster Plasterboard Cavity Fixings Earn Their Keep

These are a go-to for first and second fix finishers, joiners, electricians, and general builders working on stud partition walls or drylining systems. Any trade that regularly fixes items to plasterboard without the luxury of a timber nogging behind it will find these useful. The 6mm pre-drill requirement keeps the hole neat, and the expansion mechanism means you’re not relying solely on friction to hold the fixing in place.

Boxed in 100s, they’re sensibly priced for bulk use and easy to keep stocked on the van. These plasterboard cavity fixings won’t let you down for everyday light-to-medium duty applications. For anything that’s going to take sustained heavy loads, you’d want to think about whether the plasterboard itself is up to the job — but that’s a question about the wall, not the fixing.
