A: With GeeFix just follow the instructions above or watch the video found here.
Q: Can I wall mount my tv above a radiator?
A: It is generally not recommended to mount a TV above a radiator as the heat from the radiator can cause damage to the TV. Additionally, the TV may block the flow of heat from the radiator which can cause the room to become too hot. If you must mount the TV above the radiator, you should use a TV mount that is rated for the specific size and weight of your TV, and be sure to leave at least a few inches of space between the TV and the radiator to allow for proper ventilation.
Q: How much weight can plasterboard hold?
A: The weight that plasterboard can hold depends on several factors, including the thickness of the plasterboard, the type of fastener used, and the spacing of the fasteners.
In general, a standard 1/2 inch thick plasterboard can hold up to 5 lb per square foot if the fasteners are spaced 12 inches apart. This means that a 4×8 ft sheet of plasterboard can hold around 160 lbs.
GeeFix can hold up to 270kg.
