Can I mount a floating sink to just drywall?

I’m wondering if it’s possible to mount a floating sink directly to drywall without hitting any studs. I know it sounds a bit risky, but I’m curious if anyone has tried it or knows if it would hold up. Thanks.

I wouldn’t recommend it. Drywall alone probably won’t support the weight. You might wanna use some anchors or hit the studs.

Yeah, I agree. I tried something similar and it ended badly, lol. Definitely go for the studs if you can.

What do you mean by anchors? Like special screws or something?

Exactly. They’re designed to hold weight in drywall. Just make sure to get the right type for your sink.

I’ve seen some people do it with some heavy-duty wall anchors. It can work, but it feels a bit sketchy to me.

Sketchy is right, lol. I’d be too nervous it would fall off or something. Better safe than sorry.

I think it really depends on the weight of the sink. If it’s super light, maybe it could work? But I wouldn’t risk it.

Yeah, I guess if it’s a small sink, it might hold. But I’d still want it anchored somehow.

I’ve mounted stuff to drywall before and it usually holds, but a sink sounds like a lot of pressure. Be careful.

For sure. A sink’s a whole different ball game. Definitely go for the studs if you can.
