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.

Queens Park context

What picture & mirror hanging looks like in Queens Park

We hang Queens Park art from original picture rails by default — most frames sit comfortably on brass S-hooks at adjustable heights. Heavier mirrors and larger pieces that exceed picture-rail load need direct wall fixing through to original timber stud or sandstock chimney brick. We always pilot before committing on lath-and-plaster walls. Layouts get taped first for client sign-off; redrilling is more disruptive on heritage walls than modern.
