Fixing insulation and plasterboard

[andyandy2]

What is the best method of fixing insulation and plasterboard to 20 mm battens, can adhesives be used, or am i better sticking to drywall screws (although struggling to find 90mm drywall screws) Walls have to be battened because of uneven brickwork, (old outbuilding) and the walls are covered in limewash, so cannot bond directly to brickwork,. Thanks for any suggestions

90mm drywall screws exist - we have just completed a job using these very screws.

they were not the usual dull black sharp trumpet heads but silver dudes.

any idea where you obtained them noseall, or was it from one of your local merchants

 

[noseall]

local i'm afraid.

Simmons (of Stafford) builders yard are the very best, a builders' builders yard.
