weight

I am pondering on whether to buy a 6 mm or 8 mm shower door, to be fitted on a 2“ metal stud wall as found in most modern houses. The cause of my indecision is to do with the weight of the door on such flimsy (recessed) walls. I have currently got the studs exposed and I have added strengthening...

Renovating my en-suite and I wish to add a largish mirror to a wall that will also be tiled. In total though, the weight will slightly exceed the maximum weight for plasterboard i.e. mirror + tiles > 32kg/m sq. As such, i am looking for advice on the best way to strengthen the wall. I don't yet...

Hi, I'm looking at some calculations for a beam. Is it correct that celotex is listed as 0.25kn/m2 ? Only unsure as it is listing plasterboard and skim at only 0.12kn/m2 and 25mm flooring at 0.13kn/m2 Surely it's not heavier than these two things? Thanks
