Fischer’s innovative DuoHM cavity plug has just been awarded the prestigious German Design Award 2025 in the category “Excellent Product Design – Building and Elements.” The jury was particularly impressed by the clever material combination of nylon and metal, which ensures maximum flexibility and security when fastening in panel building materials.
The Fischer DuoHM, a metal cavity fixing designed for heavy-duty installations in plasterboard and other panel materials, has been recognized for its groundbreaking design and exceptional performance.
The jury’s statement reads: “This cavity plug impresses with its innovative material combination of nylon and metal, which enables flexible and secure fastening in panel building materials. The simple installation with a cordless screwdriver without additional tools underlines the practical design and significantly reduces working time. The ‘fischer DuoHM’ thus offers a well thought-out solution for versatile application requirements in the field of tools.”
Key Features and Benefits of the Fischer DuoHM:
- Unique Material Combination: The DuoHM features a nylon base body and a metal sleeve, providing high load capacity and maximum flexibility in panel building materials.
- One Length for Multiple Thicknesses: A single DuoHM plug accommodates building material thicknesses from 9.5 to 30 mm, simplifying inventory and reducing costs.
