vesa mount and plasterboards walls?

[bigjimmyauk]

going to be picking up a vesa for my 22 inch monitor, will it hold on a plaster board wall the mount only has 2 fixing points was thinking of using mavity toggles or interset rawlplugs. But don't fancy pulling out chunks of plaster unless anyone knows a hassle free way of fixing into the blockwork

going to pick one up sometime today hopefully and would like to fit it tonight if possible

If you have blockwork behind the plasterboard then why not just drill into that and fix with red/brown plugs??

Failing that plasterboard fixings, the screw in type I mean.

Or the messy way, make hole, insert batton, fix, watch tv/use pc.

my walls are dry-lined and have blocks behind the plasterboard (1inch gap) I used 100mm frame fixings to hang my 42" lcd, they seem to work quite well....

I think the blockwork is about 100mm away as it's plaster board,void,blockwork so would need so heffing long bolts and some good look the get the screw in the rawl plug

dosen't seem like there is any studwork so think to board is bonded to the wall.

I would recomment these;

http://www.screwfix.com/prods/34386/Fixings/Cavity-Fixings/Fischer-Spring-Toggle-3-x-50mm-Pack-of-20

I use them for everything i can, they beat any other plasterboard fittings i have used. Just be carfull and dont drill a hole to big, it will say on the pack what size drill bit to use to fit the spring through.

If it's a 100mm gap there will be studs, it's to deep for bonding, try drilling a lil hole and taking a peek

no link - I walked into homebase and grabbed a pack off of the shelf - they're pretty easy to get hold of - I think the plasterboad in my place can be 1"/2" from the blockwork - so 100 / 120mm frame fixings work nicely. Molly screws for most everything else....
