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.

Rose Bay context

What picture & mirror hanging looks like in Rose Bay

Late '80s and '90s Rose Bay apartments have a mix of concrete shear walls, masonry infill, and steel-stud plasterboard — wall-scan every drill location before committing. Heavier mirrors usually go on concrete or masonry; lighter pieces toggle into plasterboard partitions. The federation homes north of the bay have picture rails and lath-and-plaster, same as Queens Park or Bronte. We adapt to each as the job requires.
