Mirror hanging fitting sizes

boongywoongy

I know it's been asked before but the mirror's in question have been a lot lighter than mine. So, for a 23kg hallway mirror, what size rawl plugs and screw lengths should I use on a brick wall surface? Cheers.

i use brown rawlplugs and about 1.5/2.0 inch screws.
and i always use two plugs for heavy items like mirrors.

a brown plug in brick, will easy manage 23 kilos.

Ormus, do you mean that you use one brown rawlplug inside another? (I know totally nothing about this sort of thing).

What would you use for a stud wall and for a heavy curtain pole on a plasterboarded breeze block wall?

Thanks.

For plasterboard stud and dry lined walls I'd use: http://www.rawlplug.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=85&Itemid=34

and no, he means two plugs in two different positions. ie two attachments.
