Hello,
I need some advice regarding the fitting of an electric radiator to the wall of my garden room. Unfortunately I didn't anticipate doing this whilst in the design stage and now it's too late to put in adequate support structures. The radiator is 160cm tall by 23.6cm wide:
Here is the room as it is now, and I'd like the radiator on this side wall positioned about 40cm to the right of that side window:
Here is the underlying wall construction:
The radiator is 12kg in weight which seems like a lot to have hanging from just plasterboard. I've obviously got the benefit of a vertical timber on either the right or the left of the radiator, but since these are 40cm apart and the radiator is 23.6cm wide, I won't be able to rely on both. Likewise the noggin in the center isn't any use either. I guess the positioning on the brackets are determined by the radiator design, and can't be placed arbitrarily:
Do I have any other options to fit this, or do I have to go with a standard convection or fan heater instead?
Thanks for any advice.
