Question
we want to hang a 30 kilo pivot shower wall on a plasterbooard studded wall. tiled, re platerboard and re tiled? what do we use??? we are worried the wall willcome down?? thanks

Answer
Hi Yvette,

The only safe way is to find studs to attach the shower. This may be able to be done by a magnetic or density stud finder or even going on the other side of the wall to find them.

I've even gone outdoor when the wall was against an exterior wall,
there one can usually find a stud and transfer measurements inside...
Best of luck,

Dave
