How heavy is heavy?
No good for what I consider to be heavy!
Each pair of small strips holds up to 450 g
Each pair of medium strips holds up to 1 Kg
Dimensions of strips: small = 54 x 16 x 2 mm / medium = 70 x 19 x 2 mm0 -
There is one way to do a job and that is: properly.
Get your drill out and some proper fixings.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0 -
All my curtains are up with command tape. And the granite house name plaque, the wall mounted toilet roll holders and magnetic knife rack. I would go with tape over hooks personally xxxx0

If heavy... screw in some proper fixings (hollow wall ones if needs be) and affix properly.
If it's behind a picture, nobody'll notice if you do it slightly shabbily, anyway.0 -

Command strips work very well. The weight they will hold is on the front of the packet, so just check it and use the correct strips.0
