If it is of brick/ block type material with the appropriate fixings that's fine. However, if Its a stud wall of hollow construction you will need to open up the wall and fix a pat-tress to which the basin can be fixed..."

Answered on 18th Jan 2021 - Member since Apr 2020 - report"You need to first check what the wall it is to be fixed to and see what material it is constructed with.
You then need to purchase the correct wall fixings for the wall.
You then need to purchase a basin wall hanging brackets."
"Quite simply the basin needs a solid wall of some type either that be brickwork or stud work with ply sheet in between.
All basin is designed to be fitted in a bathroom."
"When hanging a wall hung basin ideally you would need a solid brick wall to fix too with the bolts supplied with the basin or some reinforcement will be required with "noggings" fitted to accommodate the basin fixings .

"Firstly check the space you have and that the basin is at least 10cm smaller than the gap you have. Then if it's a tiled brick wall then it can be drilled Rawl plugged and screwed if it's a stud wall then you would need to locate the wood "studs" to fix to."
