[QUOTE="smallsteve, post: 986494, member: 54521"] I am in the process of refurbishing my ensuite bathroom and on one wall I will be taking the tiles to the ceiling and also adding an 800 mm² mirror that weighs approximately 10 kg. The studs on this wall are spaced at 600 mm. The question relates to whether I will need to strengthen the wall or whether it be able to take the combined weight? Plasterboard is standard 12 mm on a metal stud wall and it is currently not plastered see pic) and so I believe it can take 32 kg of weight. Having looked at posts on this website I think the tiles + addy will be around 22 kg and then there is the weight of a mirror to add to this. The plasterboard has also had to be patched due to removal of original tiles; new piece was put in. If i need to strengthen the wall then in all reality I will need to completely remove the PB from the whole wall and put in new metal studs. This will be a right pain to do, but it will also be serious PITA if I discover that the wall cannot take the weight down the line! Hope this is not an inappropriate question to ask on here and would appreciate any advice. TIA [/QUOTE]
