Case Study: Corefix Fixings on Renewable Heating Installs

Fiona Evans is a renewable heating engineer with Green Warmth whose journey into the trade has inspired many people across the UK. At 30, while raising two teenage children, she returned to Pembrokeshire College to retrain as a plumber. Her determination paid off. She now installs underfloor heating, boilers and heat pumps across West Wales and shares her projects on Instagram through @fievans_plumbing where her practical tips and tidy workmanship attract a growing audience.

Fixings for a variety of jobs

For installers like Fiona, every job presents different wall types and fixing challenges. Carrying multiple boxes of fixings is often needed, especially when moving between domestic heating upgrades, plant room installs and renewable energy projects. That is why the Corefix Complete Fixing Selection Kit turned out to be a useful addition to her fixings stock.

The kit is designed as a practical all-round fixing solution for professional installers and home DIY users alike. It includes a carefully selected range of fixings for plasterboard, masonry and mixed substrate applications, giving users the flexibility to tackle a wide variety of jobs.

Putting the Corefix kit to use

On a recent air source heat pump installation, Fiona used the kit’s 6mm Corefix One universal wall plugs to secure white plastic hinged pipe clips to the external brick wall of the property. The clips were used to hold the heat pump flow and return pipework neatly in place, helping create a tidy and professional finish.

The Corefix One 6mm plug is one of the most versatile fixings in the kit. It is designed to perform in both plasterboard and masonry, holding up to 10kg in plasterboard and 60kg in masonry. This dual-purpose performance means installers can use the same fixing across multiple stages of a job without switching products, saving time and reducing the need to carry excess stock.

The wider kit offers the same flexibility across countless installation scenarios. On heating and plumbing projects, it can be used for mounting thermostats, pipe clips, cable management brackets and control panels. Around the home, it is equally useful for fitting shelves, curtain poles, mirrors, bathroom accessories and wall-mounted storage.

For installers, this makes the Corefix Complete Fixing Selection Kit an ideal grab and go solution for day-to-day work. Instead of second guessing which fixing will suit the substrate, they have a dependable range close to hand.

Useful for both trades & DIYers

For DIY users, it removes the uncertainty of choosing the right fixing for different wall types. For trade professionals, it means fewer trips back to the van and more confidence when moving between plasterboard and solid wall applications.

Heating engineers like Fiona value products that make installation simpler and more dependable. The Corefix Complete Fixing Selection Kit delivers exactly that, with a reliable fixing solution for everything from renewable heating installations to everyday domestic jobs.
