FAQs

?What is the fixing capability of Habito?

Habito uses patent (s) pending technology to provide you with inbuilt fixing performance in a plasterboard.

On a single layer Habito wall, A no. 10 wood screw will provide a safe working load (SWL) of up to 30kg per screw (safety factor of 2). We recommend that you follow the manufacturer’s guidance as to the number of fixtures required to mount a fixture.

Example: If a TV weighs 30kg with its bracket and the bracket accepts four fixings, you should use four screws, even though this provides 120kg safe working load.

? Can I use any type of screw with Habito?

No. We recommend that a standard single thread No.10, 5mm wood screw to be used. Fixings with cross threads for chipboard will reduce fixing performance. You also need to ensure the wood screw does not have a threadless shank. The length of the screw used should be sufficient to pass through the fixture being mounted and through the board. Be aware of the substrate the board is fixed to and always check for pipes and electrical cables prior to fixing.

150mm Recommended.

Yes, the fixing capability on each screw will vary if number of layers of habito change.

? What is the safe working load for Habito?
