Hello!
We have plans to put up a plank wall in the living room (horizontal planks). Partly for aesthetic reasons, partly to have something to hang the TV on.
The problem we have is that the current interior wall is made of incredibly porous material (probably Siporex board according to my father-in-law). We hung up a picture rail with plugs, etc., and one day when we came home, it had fallen down.
Our idea now is to frame the wall and cover the entire surface with planks to have something solid to attach the TV to. The question is - how on earth do we get the framework to attach to the wall??
Anyone with experience/tips on how we can proceed?
//M & T

Siporex is not "incredibly porous," so it's probably something else on the wall.... IF it is siporex, then façade plugs work well, for example.
Once you've figured out how the wall is constructed, it will probably be fine to just mount vertical strips, like 22x70 on cc 60, and nail the boards to these.
Maybe a picture of the wall can provide more clues about how it is built.

Could be fiberplank covered with tretex. These are usually 30cm wide, so there should be studs every 30cm where you can find something to mount the TV on.
Thank you for your responses!
If you drill into the wall, it seems like plaster, but when you insert a plug, it comes right out again as soon as you apply a little pressure. I've knocked on the wall but can't hear any difference anywhere. If you lean against the wall or accidentally fall against it, it feels like the whole apartment is going to collapse...
