I prefer to play it safe for peace of mind. You cannot lift them single handed (well I can't anyway) and you really do not want them coming off. In this article, we’ll be going into shiplap, plaster, their benefits, and the considerations you need to. For something this heavy I recommend going into Studs/2x4’s to make sure it stays. These flatten against the back of the wall so the item holds up. If yes, just use a 2.5' screw and youre good to go with anything. Keep drilling to see if youve got a stud. The plaster wall’s material provides fire-resistance and moisture protection, both of which are complementary to the use of wood for shiplap finishes. You have to use wall anchors which you tap into a drilled hole and the back of them open up as you screw into them. You can usually tell when you transition from plaster to lath. Whilst possibly over the top but these radiators are seriously heavy and more so when filled with water (they take a lot). Yes, there is no reason why you cannot install a shiplap finish onto a plaster wall. With the larger verticals and no feet I found it easier to take down the lathe and plaster and build a studwork frame to suit the radiator fixings before plasterboarding and re-skimming. With the largest of the column cast iron rads I have fitted I removed a horizontal rectangle of the lathe and plaster and fixed timber at the height of the studs before plastering back over. Then you will use a screwdriver to tighten the molly bolt, securing it. Make sure to remove the tape once it is on the wall. From here you will lightly tape in the molly bolt. I would strongly recommend buying the Zircon stud detector which I have found excellent and picking up the line of small lathe nails. Using your drill bit, drill a clean and straight hole into the wall, through the plaster and lath. The radiator stays can go between any of columns to suit the stud spacing. The advantage to the columns is you have much more leeway that with the majority of standard radiators where it will be fixed. In my experience the rad brackets never align with two sets of studs even with the small amount of horizontal play. Still I would want it fixed to the studs. A: With proper technique, hanging pictures on a lath-and-plaster wall isnt a problem. With your painter’s tape, rip off a piece and poke a hole in the middle of it with the pencil. Measure the spot on the wall where the screw will go and mark an X. The majority of the weight is being directed straight down. Here’s how to hang items on plaster walls. With the rads like the one pictured I would use feet like mentioned above if at all possible. Current task is a wall hung vertical weighing in a 68Kg dry to lathe and plaster. Have had and am still having the same problem as yourself. The wooden lath layer is attached to the studs, and the hardened goop seeping through the lath is the plaster which makes up the wall on the other side of the lath.
