Can you hang a heavy mirror on plasterboard?

Yes — with the right anchors. We carry toggle bolts rated to 30kg+ each and find studs where possible.

How do you avoid drilling into wires?

We use a stud-and-services finder before drilling and follow standard wiring layout assumptions.

Double Bay context

What picture & mirror hanging looks like in Double Bay

Double Bay boutique apartments have steel-stud double-plasterboard partitions on top of concrete frames — the partitions toggle-bolt cleanly, the concrete walls take chemical anchors. Floor-to-ceiling drapes and curtains in the apartments mean we work with care around fabric. Frames here are often imported and high-value; we use lifting straps for anything over 30kg and run two-person setups as standard.

Laser-levelled across the wall — perfectly straight.
