Are Corefix regarded as pretty decent for fixing items to plasterboard/batten walls?
My extension has the usual blockwork inside, to which I've affixed battens and plasterboard. All is now skimmed and boarded and I need to put two shelves up which will be holding two speakers, a small amplifier and a few books. Not a huge amount of weight, but enough to be concerned with decent fixings.
Obviously I've got to drill through the board and into the blocks, which is where the fixing will secure itself, but as weight pushes down I'm concerned about the brackets for the shelves pushing down and into the plasterboard.
I've seen a few reviews of the Corefix fixings, but they seem to be published by people interested in selling them in some way. Just after a neutral opinion and of course any alternatives.
