Wall Plugs

Wall plugs are the plastic anchor that lets a screw grip masonry, brick and concrete — drill the hole, push the plug in, and the plug expands as the screw goes in. The everyday choice is the red plug for general masonry fixing (the plug people search for as "rawl plugs") and the brown plug for heavier loads and bigger screws in brick and concrete. For plasterboard and hollow walls you need a different fixing altogether — see our plasterboard fixings range — and for demanding or heavy loads into masonry, a high-performance nylon plug like the Fischer Duopower 8 x 40mm carries far more load than a standard brown plug of the same size.
