Eml fixing

[basset]

Alright lads,
I'm looking for some fixings to fit some eml sheets over removed render and cracked brickwork ( not to bad though)
Where do you guys get them from or use? I've called a few people and they don't supply them just clout nails etc.

Cheers in advance

I have a Hilti DX 120 but before that I made washers out of lead, screwed a screw through the washer then screwed into a brown plug.

Plastic mushroom plugs, like the ones for fixing damp membrane...drill hole and hammer them in.

That's what I was after. I was having nightmares about having to have to drill, plug and screw all over. Where do you get them from? I've been looking and can't find them? Unless I'm being stupid - which is prob the case!

Speedplug extra large flange hammer fixings do the job.

Nah...use Riblath it you need that...I don't even bother using it anymore don't see the need with modern basecoats. Plus 'professionals' are now saying that eml expands and contracts causing cracking...probably to shift their basecoats...
