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.

North Bondi context

What picture & mirror hanging looks like in North Bondi

We've fitted plenty of imported designer mirrors in North Bondi rebuilds — German, Italian, and US frames that ship with non-standard hanging cleats or Z-bar systems. The fixing has to match the bracket type. Many North Bondi homes have feature stone or sandstock brick walls that look spectacular but require chemical anchors and careful drill placement to avoid splitting course coursing. We pre-drill pilots, confirm the fixing path, and only commit when the homeowner has signed off the final position.

Recent: 1.8m × 1.2m imported European mirror in a Hardy Street entry hall, sandstone feature wall. Z-bar bracket required two chemical anchors at 220mm spacing — pilot-drilled both, anchored with 24-hour cure, mirror lifted into position with a two-person setup. Half-day spread across two visits to allow anchor cure.
