I will build an interior wall using 120 mm leca blocks, the wall is non-load-bearing but serves as a support wall for the outer wall. Now, I have a distribution cabinet (underfloor heating) that needs to be built into the wall, the cabinet is in place so I will have to build around it. My idea is, as mentioned, to build around it; on the backside, I will insert an aquaroc (cement board) into the leca, mesh, and plaster it. The reason I chose aquaroc is that it is strong and plasterable. Is this possible, or will I encounter problems with movement and cracks? I will have 13mm clearance on the backside of the aquaroc board and the distribution, I can insert a spacer to support the board in the middle.

No one has any tips? Good or bad idea?

It will probably be good what you're thinking, what is it that needs to move? There are many boxes that are embedded.

Perfect, go ahead and test it:) It should be fine, I haven't done anything like this before so that's why I have my questions.
