How much load can an average plasterboard wall take?
The lifetime guaranteed safety answer is zero load. And that's what I would stick to if I were you.

So when I start rebuilding my ensuite, after I finish ripping it apart, it's worth adding extra noggins to the studwork to support the radiator/basin/shower?

I’ve tried to rejig the room layout to avoid it but it ain’t gonna work. It’s an upstairs office so no little humans allowed.
Also it’s 606; as above Vitsoe are confident their design mitigates the risk.
Could also opt for the semi wall mounted solution where the load is mostly on the floor.

Thinking about putting some 606 shelving in upstairs but the wall is single skin plasterboard. Vitsœ say this is OK, presumably because each rail has about eight mounting points so the load is fairly well distributed.
I'm not going to do a whole 'wall of books' type thing but there will be a bunch of files, a tv, consoles, paperwork etc.
How concerned should I be about it pulling out of the board?
