Plasterboard Fixings for Heavy Objects
GeeFix offers the ideal plasterboard fixings for heavy objects. Whether you are a building trade professional or a DIY enthusiast, you know that traditional plasterboard fixings often have serious limitations. Many are tricky to install, prone to failure, or simply not reliable enough for heavy items—until now! With GeeFix, you get a versatile plasterboard fixing that outperforms all market leaders. Independent strength tests demonstrate that GeeFix excels in shear, tensile, and cantilever load-bearing capabilities compared to leading brands.
| Load Test | Maximum weight (kgs) |
| Shear | 270 |
| Tensile | 71 |
| Cantilever @ 73 mm | 243 |
| Cantilever @ 150 mm | 192 |
| Cantilever @ 300 mm | 102 |
These tests occurred on ⅝ inch plasterboard. Industry safety standards recommend using only ¼ of the ultimate load. Keep in mind that the maximum load-testing figures are guidelines and cannot be guaranteed, as age, condition, and the capacity of base materials must be considered.
In tests alongside Grip it fixings and spring toggles, GeeFix demonstrates its superior performance, as shown in the video below.
Moreover, GeeFix is compatible with various materials, including all types of plasterboard, hardboard, plywood, sheet metal, chipboard, MDF, and lath and plaster. It accommodates materials as thin as 0.12 inches and up to a maximum thickness of 3 inches. Installation requires no tools and takes just moments to complete.

About GeeFix
A plumbing and heating engineer with over 40 years of experience invented GeeFix. We take pride in the fact that not only was GeeFix designed and developed in the UK, but it is also manufactured in Shropshire, supporting local industry and British business.
Designed to securely attach heavy items to plasterboard and drywall, GeeFix is the ideal solution for modern homes, which typically feature studwork and plasterboard. You can confidently fix TVs, radiators, towel rails, shelving, cabinets, cupboards, mirrors, and curtain rails using our fixings.
Additionally, if a different type of fixing has failed, reinstall a GeeFix fixing in the same position to often reduce repair work on plasterboard, particularly for items like radiators that have come loose.
Finally, GeeFix can adapt to smaller objects, such as bathroom accessories, where fixing holes are close together. In these cases, a single fixture can secure the item by utilizing the length of the backplate in the cavity for extra support.
