I could use some info to settle an argument discussion regarding attaching plasterboard to a block wall.
I'm sure there is a reason to not attach plaster board directly to block walls with screws/plugs (like hammer in fixings or other mechanical method). But I couldn't recall why..
Enemy friend says it's fine and says it's done all the time and also points out boards being screwed directly to stud walls as proof it's fine..
Stumped at this point as he has a point with the stud I guess??
So then, is it ok or not? I'm happy to accept being wrong BTW, I'm not looking for confirmation just knowledge.
Thanks.
