How to attach in lightweight concrete?
I am in the process of building a small kitchen and want to put up kitchen cabinets above the sink. The wall behind the sink consists of a gypsum board attached to vertical wooden studs (60 cm apart) against the "real/old wall," which I think is light concrete (the house is from the 1930s). The stud seems to be about 25 mm x 70 mm.
Now I'm wondering how to attach the cabinets to the wall. It is therefore 70 mm to the wall, and then the cabinet may be about 10 mm.
Is it a problem? Or do I just use a light concrete plug and a long screw? Are there screws that long, and will the gypsum board withstand the load?
