Generally
aerated
blocks

not
be
used

loads
,
use
a
specialist
ftting
in
this
case
.
For
light
loads
,
general
purpose
wall

be
used
.
For

The
hammer
fxing
allows
it

Fitting
:
From
time
to
time
check
the
ftting

Hints

not
sure
.
2
:
Ensure

use
the
recommended
drill
bit

hole
size
.
3
:
Ensure
you
drill
the
hole
horizontally

enlarge
the
hole

4
:
Take

high
walls
,
ceilings
and
ceramic
tiles
.
Ensure
wall
plugs
are
inserted
beyond
the
thickness
of
the

the
tiles
splitting
or
cracking
.
5
:
Ensure
wall
plugs

well
ftted

ft
in
