Radiator on insulated plasterboard

rreanor · 29 Oct 2023

I need to put a small rad in my bathroom, and the only place it can realistically go is where there is tiled insulated plasterboard fixed to a stud/baton system behind - see pic. How can this be fixed to the pir board securely?

Normal 6mm red plug will do fine, the tiles will hold the radiator which is not very big. Those radiators have long brackets which distribute the weight better and have like 6 fixings (3 on each bracket). Make sure your screws are not too thick so you don't crack the tiles.

Try to find the studs. Where are they?
