How to hang a television on a coolroom panel?

[Silverback]

The panels are being used to construct  our home. Usually consist of 0.6mm steel sheet with100mm expanded polyurethane then 0.4mm steel sheet. (See Bondor Panels).

  I was thinking  of bonding possibly 2 mm Ali panel to wall then fastening tv wall mount with screws. Other option I was thinking of was high strength magnets.

Hi Eric,  you are spot on pretty much with description of panels. The ones in my build are 0.60m outside and 0.40mm inside with 100mm polyurethane  expanded foam between. There is no other optional walls as the entire build is these panels. Only difference is roof 150mm and internal walls 50mm. It is still being built so no pics of wall.

Hi @Silverback,

Due to this being a proprietary and specialised product, it is unlikely that any of our members would be able to give you a definitive answer. However, given the minimal internal wall thickness of 0.40mm and the relatively soft internal foam, there is no solid substrate for you to attach a TV bracket onto. I like @Dave-1's idea of bolting through the wall and potentially adding a large timber board to the rear to distribute the loads, but I'm also in agreeance with @EricL that any drilling into the wall skin will compromise the wall to some extent.

As mentioned previously, it would be best to enquire with Bondor about their panels and specifications. They'll tell you immediately whether you can hang a 24kg television on a panel. I've gone ahead for you and looked through their technical documentation, and apart from an allowance of 10kg/m2 for light-duty fittings (lights), I can't find any other mentions of an allowance for hanging items apart from "No other dead loads permitted.". It's unclear, but this might be regarding the ceiling panels as it is in the span table notes, not a section specifically about walls.

Hi Mitchell, thank you for that.looks like it's going to be entertainment  cabinet with a frame. But I will still explore the strong magnet option. Thanks to the others for their thoughts as well.  Peter
