Moggaman Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Hi. The finish to our kitchen living area is a sand cement render - no skim. I want to put approx 10mm x 40mm latts on parts of the wall as a centrepiece. Just wondering the best way to fix them. I will have a 20mm gap between latts so cannot put a backing lat in there. Is it rawl plugs for each latt?..might be 10 latts wide in total. These latts will continue along the ceiling - this is just a brad nailers into the plasterboard i presume..would the brads go into the aluminum dropped ceiling holding the plasterboard? Thanks Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moggaman Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 Not unlike this example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonner Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I would fix a stiff backing board first. Then glue/pin the laths to the board. Fixing them individually would be not only laborious but will end up all over the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenki Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 As you are on Sand and cement, I would go for glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 You can buy the panels already made up like seen here. They are very very nice, a tad expensive but you get what you pay for. Slats already come attached to backing foam so very easy to install . https://www.acupanel.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
