Hi ….

The kitchen install is going well.. units in, worktops cut etc…. the forum info has been really useful.

Another quick question….. the intention is to fit one wall of the kitchen with 8mm thick back boards from the top of the worktops to ceiling level. The boards are 3m long x 580mm

deep. I was going to use tile cement to fit these or is there a better way ??. I have seen the use of gripfill mentioned for other tasks like this but can’t seem to get this at my

local diy stores.

Regards
Paul.

Paul,

A number of companies market a product that goes under various guises all related to fixing without nails and this is available from most major diy stores.
This will be an efficient way of fixing your board to the wall.

Hello Paul

You need to go to a proper builders, timber merchants for Gripfill. You will not get it in DIY stores. Go to Travis Perkins, they sell it.

I find the DIY versions of Gripfill to be not as good.

Cheers

Thank you Miles,

Sorry for not pointing this out Paul.
Gripfill is more respected in the trade than the products available from the sheds and is available at a number of trade outlets.
It should be applied to the board using a 6mm bead at 25mm in from each edge and applied evenly between.
