This means that a 4×8 ft sheet of plasterboard can hold around 160 lbs. In general, a standard 1/2 inch thick plasterboard can hold up to 5 lb per square foot if the fasteners are spaced 12 inches apart. Q: H ow much weight can plasterboard hold?Ī: The weight that plasterboard can hold depends on several factors, including the thickness of the plasterboard, the type of fastener used, and the spacing of the fasteners. If you must mount the TV above the radiator, you should use a TV mount that is rated for the specific size and weight of your TV, and be sure to leave at least a few inches of space between the TV and the radiator to allow for proper ventilation. Additionally, the TV may block the flow of heat from the radiator which can cause the room to become too hot. Q: C an I wall mount my tv above a radiator?Ī: It is generally not recommended to mount a TV above a radiator as the heat from the radiator can cause damage to the TV. Q: H ow to fix a tv bracket to a plasterboard wall?Ī: With GeeFix just follow the instructions above or watch the video found here.

A stud wall is a type of wall that is made up of vertical wooden supports called studs. Q: C an you hang a tv on a stud wall?Ī: Yes, it is possible to hang a TV on a stud wall. GeeFix is the strongest plasterboard fixing on the market. I prefer to play it safe for peace of mind.Q: Can you hang a 55 inch tv on a plasterboard wall?Ī: Yes you can. You cannot lift them single handed (well I can't anyway) and you really do not want them coming off. Whilst possibly over the top but these radiators are seriously heavy and more so when filled with water (they take a lot). With the larger verticals and no feet I found it easier to take down the lathe and plaster and build a studwork frame to suit the radiator fixings before plasterboarding and re-skimming. With the largest of the column cast iron rads I have fitted I removed a horizontal rectangle of the lathe and plaster and fixed timber at the height of the studs before plastering back over. I would strongly recommend buying the Zircon stud detector which I have found excellent and picking up the line of small lathe nails. The radiator stays can go between any of columns to suit the stud spacing. The advantage to the columns is you have much more leeway that with the majority of standard radiators where it will be fixed. In my experience the rad brackets never align with two sets of studs even with the small amount of horizontal play. Still I would want it fixed to the studs. The majority of the weight is being directed straight down. With the rads like the one pictured I would use feet like mentioned above if at all possible. ![]() Current task is a wall hung vertical weighing in a 68Kg dry to lathe and plaster.
