Use drawings, expected service zones and a suitable detector. No single method guarantees an empty wall.
Method basis: Rigips/Knauf system guidance and Fischer/Hilti fixing-selection principles. Final parameters always come from the selected product data.
How to plan the installation
Isolate relevant circuits, limit drilling depth and stop for unusual resistance, moisture, cavities or metal.
Common mistake
Do not make exploratory holes in line with sockets, switches, taps or manifolds.
Pre-start check
- Was the structural base identified rather than only the finish?
- Does the weight include contents and projection?
- Were services, edges and minimum spacing checked?
- Does the product data permit the base, direction and environment?
