Putting up Wall Mounts on a Dry Wall
August 18, 2010 // Posted by: admin // Category: Home Improvement
Drywalls are panels made of gypsum or plaster board used within the interiors of the house to separate rooms or on the ceiling. Drywalls have no studs or attachments to support heavy shelves or wall mounts.
The best way to mount wall mounts on a dry wall will therefore be with the help of anchor mounts. Begin by marking the position of the shelf on the wall with a spirit level and a grease pencil. Next attach shelf supports to the shelf and mark their positions in the above manner on the wall.
To make an accurate mark, push the pencil through the hole of the support. Drill small holes in the marked positions it will expand when the anchors are inserted.
Anchors should be embedded in the drywall rather than protruding. Position the shelf so that the anchors are in line with the shelf supports and fasten the screws.
