Which Fasteners to Use to Secure 3/4" MDF Slat Wall to Steel Studs?
I am installing 4x8 sheets of 3/4" MDF horizontal slat wall panels over 5/8" drywall. Framing is steel studs, 16" OC. I am contemplating one, or a combination, of the following: Toggle bolts (into the studs or into just the drywall) Self drilling drywall screws, fastened to the studs. Has anyone done something similar? Which method would be most appropriate? Ideally, the screws would be countersunk both for aesthetic purposes, and so that the slat hangers could slide freely with no obstructions. https://preview.redd.it/xclek7u0sk0f1.png?width=437&format=png&auto=webp&s=773b57cae233cf90793d9315cc27278a09cc9a30 submitted by /u/adosal [link] [comments]
