Plastic wall plug alternatives

here is a link to an 'experiment' report that some will have seen already and it was focussing on ceiling mounted specifically:

www.bre.co.uk/.../FI---Cables-and-support-fixings-experiments.pdf


"For the first experiment the cable supports were fitted by the contractor who erected the rig. The cablesupports for the second experiment were fitted by BRE Global staff using the same plastic wall plugs asfor the first experiment since they remained undamaged. "


The above extract (pg 6 on my pdf viewer) seems to imply that the fixings went through fire experiment 1  and then reused in fire experiment 2 as they remained *undamaged* during the first !


I tend to think that ceiling mounted *might* require more consideration with additional more robust support ie not using plastic plugs as sole means, but wall mounted plastic plugs should be fine. 


The idea is to try and not route through escape routes in any case isnt it - well that might be easier in new builds.
