dot and dab - adding mechanical fixings
I'm dot and dabbing (or whatever its called with the new foam fixing
stuff), but wish to put in some mechanical fixings especially near the top, just to be sure. Any tips for a quick or crafty way to do this? Specialist fixings? My only idea is to fix a batten at the top and screw into that. Cheers, Simon. |

Any tips for a quick or crafty way to do this? Do you really need to, though? Dot'n dabbing should be fine on it's own; you'd be making a lot of extra hassle and work for yourself by insisting on mechanical fixings too David |

The board manufacturers do specialist fixings for insulated boards. http://www.british-gypsum.com/produc...ble_plugs.aspx They are similar to frame fixings, but sized appropriately. A |
