Plasterboard ceiling fixings

[b21playa]

Hi all

Got a kitchen canopy extrator to install on a sloped ceiling which is suspended on steel ropes and wanted the best fixings to use. Item weighs 20kg and has 2 mounting plates for the ceiling with 2 steel ropes each so weight is spread.

Due to position, I may not be able to fix to the joists, so looking for worst case scenario

Thanks

Depends on the spacing of the fixing on the mounting plate.?

Would have to wait for the extractor to arrive to check this out

Each plate has 4 fixings, 75mm apart one way and 150mm apart the other way

It's a recirculating one with carbon filters

you've gone to a lot of trouble and expense for an ornament.

I know, but was limited on what I could use and it's a property I'm doing up for sale
