We recently moved into a new build property that has the lovely dot n dab plasterboard walls with hemelite blocks (http://www.tarmacbuildingproducts.c...locks/aggregate_blocks/hemelite_standard.aspx) behind.
I need to put up some curtain poles, but I'm unsure on the best method. I was originally planning to use battens, but now i'm thinking of:
Drilling through into the hemelite blocks
Filling with Gripfill in hole and in cavity between plasterboard/block
Inserting frame fixing screws/plugs 80mm (http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/510000)
Allowing gripfill to set then tightening
Does this sound reasonable?
