well someone leant on my radiator and it came right off the wall, it actually tore the rawls through the plasterboard
thing is all the partition walls in the house seem to be plasterboard from whenever the house was built, but i'm renting from a private landlord so don't want to go changing the radiator or anything. although any other solution like affixing the radiator to a bit of wood and somehow attaching that to the wall would be ok, though im grasping at straws here
i've moved the brackets a few inches over and put in some self-tapping screw metal rawls and the left bracket is holding fine, but the rawls just tear right through where im putting the right bracket, it's just crumbling.
has anyone any advice on where to go from here? any rawls which might work better or other mehods of making sure the radiator actually stays on? it's a pretty big beast of a thing
any help much appreciated
