Hi, I am about to fit a shower enclosure onto tiles/plasterboard. The fixings supplied are wallplugs for solid walls so are no use. Is there a similar type of wall plug specically for plasterboard or do I need to use one of the fixings which spread out at the back of the plasterboard. Gordon

Morning all I've added 46mm insulated plasterboard to all the internals of the solid walls of our project house. I now need to fix stuff like radiators to them. I want to go through and secure stuff to the solid wall behind 'cos drunken adults leaning on the rads and kids climbing on them will inevitably bust spring toggles. Is there a specific type of rawlplug (or other ...

Is is okay to tile straight onto plasterboard without the boards being skimmed? Its a new en suite in a new extension im about to tile, but as most the walls are studded walls im scared the tiles are too heavy and the boards will come away from the wood when fully tiled with all the weight, cheers Rick

hi there, i'm planning on applying a 50mm celotex board to some internal windowless rendered walls and then sticking plasterboard over the celotex. having read the celotex website, they suggest using battens over the celotex to hold it in position. this sound pants to me. can i just dot and dab the celotex to the render and then the plasterboard to the celotex? ...

Hi, I took down a plasterboard wall the other day and I noticed that the corner joints were taped-over with a tape that had thin metal (I think) strips built into it. This would be to make the corner joints stronger and less likely to get damaged if they take a knock. I am not talking about the metal mesh corner thingies that plasterers generally use. Does anybody know what this ...

I'm hoping to NOT have to skim or plaster the walls, hence me using tapered edge boards. However, I'm not sure what my ...

I have a bit of a problem with thin walls and a partially deaf neighbour, as a result, I can often hear their TV and sometimes even hear them talking/shouting. So, I've been contemplating removing the internal plasterboard on the dividing wall and replacing it with some sound insulation in-between. I'm in the process of taking off some of the internal plasterboard in the room anyway to improve ...

In the bathroom upstairs I have JC94010 IP65 fire rated downlights, when I installed them I built plasterboard enclosures with 1.5 times the manufacturers minimum spacing around the light. Each box has a couple of 20mm holes drilled in the side for a bit of ventilation. I'm just about to insulate the loft with 170mm of top up insulation, am I safe to put this over the top of my ...

My intention was to use hardi board to make good the wall and tape the joint with the existing plasterboard using bal tape ...

Regular brown plugs will do, they just need pushing all the way through into the masonry. Prior to finally fixing the rad brackets, squirt some strong cartridge adhesive to the backs of the rad brackets, then screw 'em back.
