How to fix a piece of furniture to the wall depending on the support (plasterboard, brick, concrete)?

Before Starting

  • Wall fixings are not provided as they depend on the type of wall. Only the anti-tip slings are provided.

  • Use a sensor to detect cables and pipelines. Wear PPE (glasses, gloves).

  • For columns, display cabinets, and high furniture, fixing is highly recommended (child safety).

  • You will need a drill with an appropriate bit, a hammer, and a screwdriver.

1) Identify Your Wall

  • Plasterboard (hollow partition): plasterboard on a metal frame (studs).

  • Solid/hollow brick or cinder block.

  • Concrete (solid).

2) Choose the Right Anchor (common examples)

  • Plasterboard: Molly/expansion anchor for light to medium loads; for heavier loads, aim for the metal studs (located with a sensor) or use toggle anchors.

  • Hollow brick / hollow cinder block: special hollow expansion nylon anchor or plug + chemical sealant (resin) with a mesh.

  • Solid brick / concrete: quality nylon anchors or drive-in anchors/concrete screws; for high loads: chemical sealing.

3) Install the Kit (bracket/angle/anti-tip sling)

  1. Mark your points (level/squaring).

  2. Drill to the appropriate diameter for the anchor (concrete drill for minerals; metal/wood drill not needed in plasterboard).

  3. Install the anchor (expansion/sealing according to the instructions).

  4. Screw the bracket/sling to the wall side, then to the furniture side (do not fully tighten before the final alignment).

  5. Tighten and check: the furniture should not tip over; distribute heavy loads at the bottom.

Best Practices

  • Respect the working load of the fixing accessory and follow the instructions.

  • In plasterboard, prioritize attaching to studs for high/heavy furniture.

  • If in doubt (heterogeneous, old, stone wall), consult a professional.

Remember: Every wall has its solution; an unsuitable anchor can tear the support. Our customer service can guide you on the type of fixing to use according to your situation.
