Hi Guys,
Just got a mirror to go over the fireplace, it's not mega heavy but certainly more than a picture of the same size, it's 94cm X 68cm. It's already got a doubled up heavy gauge cord to hang it from.
I've never hung anything this heavy before so my question is, what fittings and how many?
My initial guess is 2 brown rawlplugs with screws placed about 10cm either side of the centre line. Would that be ok? would one be ok? I'm guessing a large picture hook nailed into the wall certainly wouldn't be up to the job.
