markharro Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I think I need something like this - https://www.fischer.co.uk/en-gb/products/frame-fixings/hammerfix-n/hammerfix-n-s-d but will the washer be an issue when we come to tile? Is this sort of thing better - https://www.fischer.co.uk/en-gb/products/frame-fixings/hammerfix-n/hammerfix-n-p - although again the plastic sleeve head will stand proud of the board. Maybe this - https://www.fischer.co.uk/en-gb/products/frame-fixings/hammerfix-n/hammerfix-n-s ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 You may find it easier to use Wedi / Marmox type board as it is much lighter and easier to cut and fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markharro Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 Thanks but I have already got the Hardie board and fitted half of it to studwork - just got this tricky bit over about 1m2 of bowed concrete to sort out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Can you not dot n dab it with flexible tile adhesive then when it’s gone off screw it up with any type of galvanised screw and plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ambrose Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Concrete screws or old fashioned wall plugs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markharro Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 Thanks @Russell griffiths and @Alan Ambrose here is where I have got to so far. Next step to screw the board to the concrete. I have the fixings in the photo - the SS screws are 50mm. Will these be long enough? Also how many screws and what pattern for this section of board which is 800mm high by 900mm wide? thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markharro Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Is anyone able to comment on my post above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Roughly every 200mm you can go 150 around the perimeter, but if it’s well stuck on thats ott, every 300 would still be ok. are you boarding over that timber ? if so I would have boarded that first to make sure your lower wall is in line.

markharro Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Thanks @Russell griffiths thats helpful. What about the screw length though - would 50mm be enough? Yes boarding up over the timber. I see what you mean about starting there and working down.....next time I will know better. I have planed the studs so that an 18mm ply spacer should level the board with the one below - hopefully!
