Fixing wall protection to lightweight partitions
For a lightweight partition, the wall protection fixing is part of the wall assembly. The profile alone cannot compensate for missing reinforcement behind the board.
Selection considerations
Coordinate mounting lines with studs, backing plates and reinforcement before closing the partition. Draw the anchor positions relative to profile brackets and joints. Where fixing spacing appears in a product record, check that the proposed wall construction can support that arrangement.
Retrofit work needs a survey of the existing wall rather than a generic anchor selection. Confirm concealed services and use the approved fixing design for the substrate. Keep a record of reinforcement locations for future replacement. A continuous rail can hide weak attachment points, so installation inspection should happen before covers make the fixings difficult to see.
Before you specify or order
- Coordinate bracket and backing positions
- Survey concealed services
- Inspect fixings before covers are fitted

Common question
Can the same wall plug be used everywhere?
No. Masonry, concrete and board partitions require substrate-specific fixing arrangements.
