Using Aquapanel

[Burnerman]

I'm lining out my shower cubicle walls with this product, and I intend to fix it to the walls (thermalite) with 40mm stainless hammer fixings.
However, I'd like to stick it in place too - so what would I use? Would an instant grab product be any good?
Thanks for any tips!

Personally I wouldn’t use hammer fixings. I dot & dab the boards using plasterboard adhesive, then fix through the dabs into the wall with suitable length frame fixings on a grid pattern around every 250mm, ensure at least 40mm in the blocks. Make sure you know where the adhesive dabs are, one way of doing this is to drill small holes where you intend to fix, the adhesive will ooze through the hole. Don’t mechanically fix until the adhesive has set (next day) or you could crack the boards.

Plan the board layout so that the tile grout lines do not line up with the board joints.

That sounds like brilliant advice, again.
Thanks very much!
