In order to secure wood panelling or build internal
walls of plasterboard, you will need a battening layer
made of wooden slats.
How to proceed:
Use a wood drill bit to drill holes
through the wooden slats, 50cm to 70cm apart.
Align the slat and mark on the wall
the location of the first hole.
Make sure that there are no cables or
pipes behind the location where you plan to drill. For
this purpose we recommend using themetal
finder from BOSCH.
Use the masonry drill bit to drill.
If your wall is made of concrete, you can switch on the impact
mechanism.
Remove the dust from the holes with avacuum
cleaner (a dust blower or simply by
blowing). Be careful to avoid getting dust in your eyes.
Insert the fixing and tap lightly
with a hammer to make sure that the fixing is properly
seated in the hole. Secure and align the slat.
You can now drill the remaining holes
directly through the slats and into the wall
Drive home the fixing with the
hammer.
