    Hi,
    I got a nice piece of art for Christmas and was wondering how best to attach it to the wall. The wall has insulated plasterboard dot and dabbed on to block cavity wall and is approx 50mm thick. Not sure of the weight of the object but its heavy enough-maybe 10kg- or so.

    Do i drill through the PB into the block and if so, what type of anchor do i use into the block.
    If not and the PB is strong enough, what type of anchor do i use for this.

    Cheers
    Bob.
