Screw

[Newhomejamtland]

Hello. I am going to mount a heavy detail on a wall made up of plasterboard on wooden paneling. Behind the wooden paneling, there's only chip insulation. I don't know where the studs are, so can anyone give me tips on what to use in the screw/plug jungle? 🙏

How heavy is it, and what kind of object is it?
How many attachment points are there?
A picture can help.
A TV directly on the wall is, for example, a big difference compared to a TV that can be extended out by a meter.

I am a big advocate for Fischer's plugs,

Duo tec is fantastic in panel materials such as gypsum or chipboard.

Even their Duo Power is excellent if you don't know the conditions exactly, as it works for most things.

You do mention that you have paneling behind the plasterboard.
Depending on the weight and number of attachment points, you can probably attach directly to the paneling with screws, without plugs.

Also, their Duo Power is excellent if you are not quite sure about the conditions since it works with most things.

Thank you for the response. Three fastening points next to each other. Heavy mixer for the shower.
