Heavy wallmounted basin on a stud, plasterboard wall?

welsh · 24 Jan 2006

Hello,
I would like to mount a square basin onto the wall and have it wall mounted, supported by the wall only. This basin is pretty big and heavy 55cm wide by 43cm deep. The fixings provided are only 2 bolt like things (sorry about description) Is it possible to mount this on a stud wall? Would i have to fix it to the battons in the stud wall or bul;k these up with more wood and connect to these?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

you'll have to reinforce your studwork to match the bolt holes or cut a piece of ply, attach to studwork then attach sink to ply.
