Dot & dab walls are really common in UK homes built over the last 30 years or so. It's basically where the plasterboard / drywall is glued on to the blockwork with a special adhesive. The glue is applied in dots and dabs approx. 200mm in size - hence the name dot & dab. A lot of people struggle hanging stuff on dot & dab walls - in today's video I'm going to show you how to hang just about anything on dot and dab. From very light things like pictures and mirrors through to really heavy stuff such as giant radiators. Remember to always follow manufacturer recommended loadings for the fixing being used depending on the wall type. I've just covered some common scenarios here. There's a link to the reference article with more information below. Enjoy!
