Mounting TV stand on light concrete TIPS please.

[sträss]

Hey.

I am going to mount a TV cabinet on a wall. The cabinet is 180 cm long and is attached with 4 different mounting points. On the cabinet, there will be a TV and some other stuff later. So, let's say around 40-50kg in total. What should I use to make sure it stays on the wall? It's an older apartment with outer walls made of aerated concrete.

Tips, please.

There are both lightweight concrete screws that screw directly into the wall and lightweight concrete plugs where you need to drill a hole, hammer in the plugs, and then use "regular" screws to fasten.

Search for lightweight concrete plugs GB or MZK or MEA or
lightweight concrete screws, and you'll find what you're looking for.

So in other words, would this lightweight concrete screw work then without even plugging? https://www.bauhaus.se/lattbetongskruv-8x130.html

Yes, then it also depends a bit on the condition of the lightweight concrete. You should feel that the screw really "pulls." Depending on how your furniture and attachment points look, you might need to supplement with washers so the screw has a larger contact area against the furniture.
