So I was contacted recently by the inventor of the Geefix cavity fixing asking if I would take a look at it. I get a few such requests and tend to politely decline, but in this case there was something that really interested me in this product. I just thought it looked like a really great design.
Garry the inventor has 40 years experience as a plumbing and heating engineer and he's developed this fixing after years of installing radiators boilers, kitchen units.
In short, the length of the Geefix backplate at 120mm is longer and wider than any other fixing back plate I've ever used. You'd think this would be incredibly hard to insert into a wall, but that's the other thing - I found it really easy to fix into place - and amazingly it can be inserted into cavities as shallow as 30mm! You can fix the curved back plate either vertically or horizontally. The length of the backplate also means you can self tap additional fixing points into it for smaller items which often have fixings quite close together.
Different types of screws eg larger diameter coach and vine eye screws can be used to replace the centre fixing screw once the fixing has been installed.
Finally, Geefix is incredibly versatile, because it can also be used in plywood, hardboard, lath and plaster (and believe me, I've struggled with fixing into lath and plaster over the years!!) and other materials - all with standard screws not bolts.
So in short, this is the strongest plasterboard fixing I have encountered to date, and this would now be my first choice for heavy objects like radiators, towel rails, cupboards, mirrors, cycle racks and heavy curtains on curtain poles and tracks.
