    Folks,

    Im looking to hang pics on the wall. Only problem is that its plasterboard as we have insulated the walls.

    Can anyone tell me what kind of fittings Ill need to hang frames?

    depending on the weight of the pictures I would say that standard plasterboard fixings are best for you .

    see examples here

    If you are hanging "standard" pics, I would opt for the plastic option, and if its a little heaver then the metal fixings, and of course if its going to be very big, then you should go for the spring toggle bolts

    I generally have a rule of thumb the smaller the hole the easier to fill :)

    If its a light picture a nail or a screw put into the plaster will hold. I try get the plugs that can be pushed in afterwords.

    other than that i would go with the fixings above
