Default Hanging on internal plasterboard walls

I have an LCD tv with a weight of 21kg, is it possible to hang it on
an internal plaster board wall? What sort of weight this type of wall
would take? thanks


crewroom,

Depends on the construction of the wall.

If it's of a pre-fabricated Paramount type (plasterboard, egg crating,
plasterboard with 1 1/2" square timber uprights every two feet or so) - then
no!

What sort of weight will it carry - just about take a central heating
radiator with its brackets screwed to the wall with cavity fixings - the
type that I have in my house, and what a pain they are to fix anything to.

============================================

If it's of a stud partition (4"x2" [or similar] timber uprights every
sixteen inches or so with noggins, head and sole plates) - then yes, with
the brackets screwed onto the uprights!

What sort of weight will it carry - if properly designed and constructed -
just about anything (within reason of course) that you care to fix to it.
