This is how the big world wars started, a small misunderstanding. Well, it works poorly to attach something only to tretex, but I meant that you put up tretex with nails that resemble paper nails, but long ones. Now I am quite a bit older than you, so this with tretex is something I have worked with, and as someone mentioned in the thread, it was the insulation aid that was available before, mostly for houses built with clay bricks, those crooked, skewed, drafty, and cold houses where the clay bricks eventually settle, so the walls become thicker at the bottom. When we had renovated some of these old houses (statarhus), it happened that someone dared to complain that all the nails (the heads) became visible after a while, and the newest innovation that fixed this was the plastic paint = the nail heads rusted/discolored quite promptly, so from then on we first had to apply rust protection to the nail heads. A little OT perhaps.oleg said:
Among the most confused threads I've read in a long time.
First, the OP's question was unclear for some. Is it about how to set up masonite or how to attach a curtain rod to masonite? I interpret it as the latter question.
Then there seems to be total confusion about what masonite is.
Is it a hardboard manufactured according to the mason method, or is it from the brand Masonite, or is it from the company Masonite AB???
Another angle that has been added to complicate things is that semi-hard board has been mentioned and even a reference to Huntonit has been found.
As long as you haven't clarified what you mean by masonite and what the purpose of the OP's question is, everyone is either wrong or right in their posts.
My personal definition of the term masonite is a hardboard preferably manufactured according to the Mason method.

I want to mount curtain fittings on 9.6mm masonite walls.
I know that regular spax work. But I've seen that XL sells special screws for other building boards. I thought I'd check if you would shout that other screws are better than the classic ones.

It was called masonite when there really weren't any other boards.
There are similar materials and tools that were named after the company.
Now there are so many manufacturers of everything that you should use the correct name.
If screws don't work, try longer ones. Never use plugs in wood (except for träplugg then ;-))

if it is a wall that is old enough to have masonite or tretex, you will have a plank wall behind or at least hit some sort of wood. but I don't know, I've only been in the construction business since childhood.
Yrrol... It works well with drywall screws for the curtain rods, I have the same boards in my house (10mm Masonite, Board or whatever it is called). If it doesn't hold well, you can use plugs in the same way as with drywall, as it's just the material that differs.
as long as you use a screw with threads the entire way from head to tip, your curtain rods will stay in place
20 posts to put up a curtain rod....
I vote for through bolt and nut, feel free to use carriage bolt, it looks nicer. Unbeatable regardless of wall material.
Pl400!
Beginner, I understand. Carriage bolt... yes, I use that name too, while others use names like carriage screw!Stefan o Anna said:
But the carriage bolt is still one of the worse bolts if you're trying to remove it when it's rusted together. Those who don't think so haven't worked with carriage bolts. Otherwise, explain how you remove a carriage bolt, where it is well embedded in a trailer bed, without damaging the wood. Well, a cutting torch works to get the nut off, but today when we use an angle grinder, it works too.
Sorry for a bit of OT, but the curtain rod is probably screwed up now.
As for MAZONITE, I can remember their advertisement sign where it was spelled that way. Some house companies used these types of sheets in their wall constructions, I believe it was Hjältevadhus, but in everyday speech, we have used the name MAZONITE for these sheets, perhaps because they have been brown.
