Summary
When curtain brackets pull away from Gyprock plasterboard walls in rental properties, standard wood screws fail to hold. Practical trade experience indicates that landlords or handymen should install dedicated wall anchors, such as expansion anchors or heavy-duty hollow wall toggles. These anchors expand behind or grip securely within the plasterboard panel, distributing weight evenly and ensuring a stable, long-term fix that prevents future wall damage and tenant safety hazards.
Key Points
Why it matters: Detached curtain tracks and wall brackets are frequent rental maintenance issues that impact safety and tenant satisfaction if left unaddressed.
