I have used an adhesive to stick it to the wall & would like to add screws to it to give it extra support as I don’t want to rely on just the adhesive. Which screws do I use?I used plasterboard foam adhesive and then just a a few to hold it in place while it sets.
I’m looking at around 70-80mm screws due to spacing between board & wall. Apparently screw has to go in at least 5mm into the brick? Any particular brand of screw you’d recommend & should they be 5 or 6?How about 60mm x 5, zinc, could probably get away with shorter 40/50mm, depending on how close to wall the board is and how many you use.
Or just use concrete screws.

Sorry meant 50mm.5mm in to the brick work doesn't sound like a lot if you want a decent load bearing fix.
Which kind of nylon plugs do you plan to use?
I've seen turbo gold recommend, would they do?SS countersunk, and with a wide head, so 5mm screws. Minimum 60mm into the wall.
They are not SS. Turbo Ultra are and will do.I've seen turbo gold recommend, would they do?
