Best hollow wall anchor for 15kg mirror
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.54 PM
Looking to hang a 15kg mirror (approx 1.1m x 0.9m) with two fixings. Instructions say to leave some of the screw exposed for hanging. Initially thought the wall (above covered fireplace) was plasterboard on brick so could just use some standard heavy duty wall plugs but after drilling pilot holes this looks to be hollow so just plasterboard. What would best the hollow wall anchor be for this weight?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Easyfix Hollow Wall Anchors 8-16mm M5 From screwfix is what I would use and you won't have a problem! I have hung a 75inch tv with them before and it's still there. Good luck 👍

Depending on the size of the mirror if it’s heavy I always use a 100mm screw and fixing One Stop DIY 10 X Nylon Hammer In Frame Fixings Rawl Masonry Plugs &Amp; Screws M8 X 100mm NEW https://amzn.eu/d/6FInkYn
