How would the people here do this? What fixings and methods?

I'm assuming that the studs are not going to line-up with any brackets. I'm
hoping that the plasterboard is going to be the 1/2" variety.

Could you fix say, 4" by1" battens horizontally to the studs then the rad
brackets to that.

I could, but I do feel things like batons are unsightly and the radiator
also becomes further away from the wall.

Many thanks for your idea.

If you miss the studs and have to fix to the plasterboards, I have good
results over the years with hollow wall anchors when fixing the radiator
brackets to paramount boards etc.

Many thanks. If one bracket ends up being over a stud, I'd certainly uses
hollow wall anchors the other end. I do feel that it needs to take more
than the weight of the radiator in case someone leans on it rather heavily.

Fredxx,

Have no worries about people leaning on the rad causing problems.

I have used them on Paramount partions (2 pieces of plasterboard back to
back with 'egg crating' between (no studding) with no problems in public
buildings, offices and houses (including mine) to support large rads,
shelving etc.

What you have to do is take care that the holes for them are of the correct
diameter and they 'crush' tight to the back of the plasterboard - and don't
overtighten the bolts when you fit the rad brackets.

Thanks, that gives me some confidence.

Many thanks for all the contributions. I have some ideas and will assess
how the land lies tomorrow.

I have had a bathroom rad on a platerboard wall for 22 years. It gets towels
on it. When I removed the radiator to decorate about 21 years ago I removed
the brackets and applied some glue to help them resist movement - they have
not moved.

Just a further thought - could you get something welded onto the existing
mountings to give something like some keyholes in the best position
