    How much weight on stud wall?

    Hi, I’m moving to a new flat and have bought a tv shelf unit with cupboard storage either side which can be wall mounted. There won’t be a lot of weight inside the cupboards but the unit itself is very heavy ( about 30kg) and the tv is a 55inch ( so I’m guessing about 10-15kg). Is this too much weight to mount on a stud wall?

    best wall to make for cedar clad

    Hi, I want to know what is the best wall make up for cedar clad for a new build, just need for one front face wall. I am wondering if a cavity wall plus cedar on top will be overkill. I will go for cavity brick wall all round three sides, and this would be for front face, just deciding what will work? Any ideas, need to meet building regs also. Need insulation inside also. Can I do just single brick inside, insulation and outside go straight in with cedar? Thoughts please.
