Key Benefits of Dry Lining Fixings

The hollow wall becomes a solid mount:

  • Wing Clamped: Lugs grip the board from behind.
  • No Pattress: Flush finish without surface boxes.
  • Depth Options: 29mm to 47mm for every plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rotating lugs: cut the aperture, insert the box, and the wings swing out to clamp the board between lug and flange.

The accessory decides: switches sit happily in 35mm, sockets, dimmers and USB plates want the 47mm depth for wiring room.

The paired position: a double and single share one aperture with a divider, for a socket beside a switch or spur.

The fitting time: spring action lugs seat as the box pushes in, saving screw-turning across a house of positions.

Shallow cavities: the Knightsbridge double box fits linings too thin for standard depths.

Round accessories: ceiling and architrave positions using circular fixing centres.
