Hello!
I am going to attach regular 13mm gypsum boards onto tretex.
The thing is that I discovered there are no wooden studs behind the tretex, but rather lightweight concrete.
So the tretex is nailed into the concrete.
My question is how I can most easily attach the gypsum boards without having to tear down all the tretex and install new studs.
Answers are kindly welcomed.
 
A regular drywall screw that also reaches a bit into the lightweight concrete will hold like a rock. Or preferably a screw with "a bit more thread" like a chipboard screw.

Chipboard screws actually have too small a head to work with plasterboards. It shouldn't be too difficult to take down the tretex...
 
We used glue and Dewalt Wall Dog screws to attach gypsum to lightweight concrete. Perhaps there are screws long enough to reach through the tretex as well...?
