    Weight limits

    Hello, I.ve just joined and need advice and guidance please; How do you hang 40x20x12mm limestone on a plastered plasterboard wall? I think it is too heavy - should I line the wall with plywood and hang on that instead? If so, what is the best thickness of ply to use? Many thanks

    weight restrictions

    I seem to remember seeing a guide to weight restrictions according to the material being tiled- I can't seem to find it. I know people refer to restrictions on plaster a lot but what about plywood. Are the weight limits different on a plywood wall to plasterboard?

    Weight of Porcelain

    Could anyone help me with a guesstimate of the weight of a glazed porcelain tile 600 x 400 x 10.8mm of Spanish manufacture? I think it will be too heavy to fix onto plastered bathroom walls.
