Wall plugs, also known as anchors or wall anchors, are indispensable elements in the field of construction and DIY projects. These small, cylindrical devices are typically made from materials like plastic or nylon and are designed to provide additional support and stability when fastening screws or bolts into walls. The installation process involves inserting the wall plug into a pre-drilled hole, where it expands and grips the surrounding material, creating a secure anchor point. Wall plugs are particularly useful in situations where the wall material, such as plaster or drywall, may not offer sufficient strength for direct fastening. By distributing the load and preventing the material from crumbling or breaking, wall plugs enhance the overall reliability of fastenings, making them an essential component in ensuring the durability of fixtures and fittings within buildings and structures.
