Hello everyone,
we are currently renovating the bathroom of our old building. Due to the thin walls (bathroom is in a dormer), water and sewage pipes (both new) for the washbasin are surface-mounted on the wall. We now want to install a pre-wall in front of it ourselves. Since the bathroom is very small (5 m2), and every centimeter counts, the pre-wall should be as slim as possible (small depth). The plan is to screw 4 rows of 44 mm thick squared timber to the wall and then cover it with 15 mm OSB and 10 mm Fermacell. The pre-wall will be about 1.6 m long, 1.2 m high, and tiled at the end with a depth of about 90 mm.
The question now is how best to hang the washbasin (mineral cast + cabinet).
My idea was to make sure that at the height where the washbasin is to be hung, a squared timber is definitely installed and then later two threaded rods (M10) are screwed into the wood, on which the washbasin can then hang. The load-bearing area would then be about 60 mm thick (44 mm squared timber + 15 mm OSB).
I cannot say exactly how heavy the washbasin is at the moment. It is definitely mineral cast (so rather lighter than ceramic) and 70 x 45 cm.
Do you think that two threaded rods sitting in 6 cm of wood can safely carry the washbasin?
Best regards,
Simon
