Thanks. So apply with adhesive and then screw with washer. What about wall plugs too or no need. Also what size screws do you use? What size trowel to apply tile adhesive or can I use construction adhesive in a tube?You need washers for any mechanical fixings with those type of board. 6mm needs to be stuck with a solid bed of tile adhesive. Only really suitable for overboarding a skimmed wall or alike. Thicker boards can be dot and dabbed then fixings through the dots and the dabs!
Yup expensive and I won't use a lot.Expensive for a bit of thin metal but well worth the cost.
Always worth putting in a jam jar on the top shelf.
When screwing into a solid wall always need plugs.
8mm adhesive bed.
Screws long enough to get a good hold to substrate.
I ordered some of ebay, they look like ones you're talking about. No way was I paying £23.99 for 50 washers on the site I got the boards from. The boards where cheaper than the washersMy favourite washers that I've used so far are the Jacko board ones .
Some washers I find are very flimsy

That's what I thought, 25mm sounded silly. Seems they just have people giving random info. Think I could use turbogold wood screws or do they need to be stainless steel etc?I don't know the Norcross boards . But a 25mm screw that's not right for masonry
Thanks. What size screws would you recommend going into solid a wall?If Insulation board like marmox...then you definitely need washers, screws will just go straight through...
