which plasterboard adhesive & fixings for new build wall?

[happysmiles46]

Hey all,

I've got 50 8x4 insulated plasterboards to fit on the internal wall of my new build, made of concrete blocks. Can anyone recommend a good adhesive for this task? Also, I'm wondering if it's okay to use just two mechanical fixings per board, placing one at the top and the other at the bottom, right in the middle.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks!

Foam
Dab addy
Fixing pointless if you do right at top and bottom, building spec says you should do them @>€€^,!€€€>< f(&£%>^€*$£76:/, D:45>€$*mm

I’d put at least 6 fixings in per board. They aren’t expensive

I’ve been using those recently on a few jobs…won’t use anything else now.

Always use fixings that way if there’s a fire you don’t have to stand there and hold the boards up while you’re legs are getting a bit warm

BG ask for two fixings at mid height per full board.
They're not there to 'fix' the board, that's the job of the adhesive. They're there to stop the board falling on someone in the event of a fire.

They do, but they spec a frame type fixing which are s**t. I like these in conjunction with foam. You can use them to control the board as the foam goes off. If you’re careful you can dish the head in so it’s just below the surface.

I'd hazard a guess that the jobs finished by now. Assuming that @Danny isn't involved?
