Putting up shelves or curtains? Here are a few simple tips from @diytomm on how to identify different wall materials and what fixings to use on them.

For solid walls like masonry, wall plugs are a good choice (Corefix One can also handle lighter loads in plasterboard!)

Choosing the right substrate is key to a successful metal roofing system. Whether you’re using open framing or solid decking, the substrate not only supports your roof panels, but also ensures long-lasting performance against the elements.

Solid Decking Substrates: Provide a sturdy base for non-structural panels needing extra support.
