Hi,
I am looking to install some kitchen cupboards on a wall with the following construction.
- Brick
- Vertical wooden battens (38mm x 63mm) laid flat at 400mm centres
- Battens fixed to the wall with four screws (5 x 80mm), 10cm from bottom and top, other two screws equally spaced
- 12.5mm plasterboard attached with drywall screws (Aquapanel used in the "backsplash" section of the wall)
The surface has not been finished yet, so I can make changes to the above, if needed but I am wondering if I can get away with just a single cabinet hanger rail (something like the one below), spanning the wall, and screwed into the battens.
Would that be sufficient, or would I need to get the screws all the way into the brick?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
