{"title":"Cavity Anchors","description":"\u003cp\u003eFixing into a hollow wall - whether plasterboard on a timber or metal stud frame, or a hollow block wall - requires a fixing that can expand or fold behind the board to create a bearing surface on the far side.

They suit heavier loads than plastic toggles and provide a permanent, repeatable fixing - once set, the anchor can be removed and replaced with a bolt of the same thread size without the fixing loosening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToggle bolts use a spring-loaded wing mechanism that passes through the hole in the folded position and then opens behind the board, creating a broad bearing surface against the back face for particularly heavy fixings or walls where standard anchors don't provide sufficient load capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal cavity anchors (Molly bolts) for permanent heavy-duty fixings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring toggle bolts for heavy loads in hollow walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpreads load across the back face of plasterboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for plasterboard on timber and metal stud frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable fixing point once anchor is set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in sizes to suit different board thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cavity-anchors","title":"Cavity Anchors","description":"\u003cp\u003eSecurely mount heavier items onto hollow walls with our high-strength cavity anchors, designed for superior load-bearing capacity.
