Garage Consumer Unit

Can anyone put my mind at rest, should a garage consumer unit be mounted on a wooden board with insulated stand offs or should it be mounted directly to the wall ?

Norweb always used to tell me that they fitted spacers on external walls in case of damp, but I see them everywhere. For one, I think it makes for a neater "rear-entry" (

) install.

A bit of laminated chipboard is good (off cut from kitchen unit) as the surface will not support a flame, and it is non-conductive and easy to clean.

But weighs a ton, and is difficult to cut into!

Sorry, I stand corrected, John (

preferably a 3-metre length to give room for expansion
