The main thinking behind finding the studs in this type of walling is that we need to fix our bracket or what-have-you into the stud rather than the hollow lath and plaster part of the wall.ĭo let me know if you'd like me to suggest places to purchase tools and hardware needed for these DiY tasks and I'll see what I can do.We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to and affiliated sites.Īs an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. See the picture at the top.įixing into a more modern stud wall with plasterboard is much the same – don't try to fix anything other than “blu-tak” onto the plasterboard – instead fix through that and into the studs. ![]() Mark the position of the studs across your wall with a feint pencil mark. Or, you could use a bradawl to poke through the laths in different places until you meet resistance - but then of course you'll have to fill all those little holes with filler and sand them and paint and it all gets very messy just for putting up a shelf. You'll know the stud when your knock sounds kind of, 'not hollow'. This can and does vary up to around 16 inches.įind the studs, either with your handy stud locator (cost a few bob from any decent DIY shop) or by simply tapping on the wall in various places. You'll find it virtually impossible to make a firm fixing into lath and plaster so put your screws into the wooden studs which run floor to ceiling at around 14 inch intervals for the length of the wall. If you find you have lath and plaster for an outside wall, I strongly suggest you're either living in a hippy commune and you need to “let go man” and leave the 70's behind, or you really must call in a building inspector to look at your house. These lath and plaster stud walls will normally only be found on 'internal' walls between rooms, hallways or stairs. You'll be able to tell if you have a lath and plaster wall in by either tapping on the wall in different places and getting a 'hollow' sound or by the fact that when you drill into it, your drill just keeps disappearing without the normal resistance you might expect. Lath and plaster is made from a wooden framework of “studs” and a lattice of thin strips of wood (laths) fixed to the studs and then plastered over the top – the wet plaster oozes through the gaps in the laths to make a good bond. However fixing into a wall becomes more interesting when you have lath and plaster. Putting strong fixings into plain brick/render/plaster walls is easily made with Rawl plugs and screws (or their generic counterparts). Putting fixings into some walls presents DIYers with an interesting set of problems (or an interesting set of potential solutions if you're a budding psychologist).ĭIY Dave: How to put up brackets and a shelfĪ stud locator – seriously – this will help locate the studding in partition or stud-wallingĬomputer controlled robotic arm (to hold your pencil)Ī screw driver or driver bit drill attachment Houses around Reading will have many sorts of walls from plastered brick and mortar to stud walling with lath and plaster or plasterboard. ![]()
