Hello!
I have a question regarding the construction of a wall with studs and chipboard.
I'm going to build a small workshop in the garage entirely out of loose timber. A cabinet from floor to ceiling and 4 cabinets on the floor and 4 smaller cabinets at head height above everything. The entire construction will be 3.6x2.4 meters.
Behind this, I currently have a brick wall leading to the neighbor on the other side. The idea is to screw together a wall with chipboard so I can run electricity behind it for outlets and lighting, and make it easier to write things up.
My question now is, it will involve a lot of drilling and screwing into the brick wall. Is it okay to glue all the studs with something like PL400 or similar? I can also screw into the battening in the ceiling. The floor is concrete. The main load it needs to support is the upper cabinets, and I don't plan to load them heavily, but let's assume they will weigh a total of 60kg for 4 cabinets (including the cabinet itself). The large cabinet will stand in a corner and be screwed to both walls as it is plasterboard there.
Looking forward to your answers, this is my first post here so please write if you think I missed something.

Hello and welcome to the Byggahus forum!
It sounds like your brick wall is just a half-brick wall and such walls are usually not used to attach anything other than trellises and similar. Create a standalone stud wall that is anchored to the floor and roof trusses or similar.
