Hi all,
Doing our kitchen renovation and would really like to use some brick slips, for the 3 recessed sections (angled to the left, chimney recess and large section to the right)
The wall has been boarded with dab adhesive, with a skim over the top with 1 paint coat over a mist. I did a search and couldn’t find anything similar, probably as nobody else is stupid enough to do this in the first place! Stupidly we knew we wanted brick slips before and hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Brick slips are approx 30kg/m2 which I know is over the suggested weight capacity, has anyone overcome such a problem before?
Options I was hoping may work are:
Thanks kindly in advance,
Tom

Options I was hoping may work are:
- Screw though dabs with plugged 60mm drywall screws, and squirt some grab adhesive in some new holes with a plugged screw also. Scrape off/key the paint.
- Screw some hardibacker to the brickwork with some plugged screws.
Thanks kindly in advance,
Tom
