I have a lot of painted brick wall I'm hesitant to drill into.
Command strips have worked absolutely fine (and also come off without a trace if need be) for relatively light loads such as paintings and other decoration, but two Command hooks could not hold up a laundry drying rack that weighs about 3 kg despite technically rated to do so.
- Stratoscope 5y agoInteresting that they have worked for you on painted brick! That seems like a much rougher surface than the drywall I've used them on.
- XorNot 5y agoCurious if the strip failed or the paint on the brick failed?
- akx 5y agoThat was actually not on the painted brick wall, but just... painted particleboard, I think? Either way, the strips failed, not the paint.
- sjs382 5y agoThey're generally designed for that weight with the forces going straight toward the floor (like hanging a picture, a hook for a broom, a coat hook or something). The further you have that weight from the wall, the less weight it can hold.
