wall units without drilling screws into wall

7 years ago

I would like to fit some wall units to a plastered and painted brick wall however due to electrical wires inside the wall where the left side units are intended to hang I cannot drill holes to mount the brackets onto the wall. So I would like to know whether there is a reliable "glue" solution of sorts which I could use to mount the brackets to the wall? The units are individual so weight per unit will be limited. Any ideas? Would something like "no more nails unibond" do the trick?

Really don't try to glue them up.

Best solution would be a batten of 18mm ply screwed to the wall horizontally, to extend to the point where the brackets need to be, but screwed in numerous points along the batten which miss the cable.
This does leave a projection off the wall but most cabinets have a small void at the back and adjustment in the brackets...

As above, find out where the cables are, plug and screw around them. You just need a professional to do it. The batten idea above works perfectly and then you can if necessary screw one cupboard to another as you do in a kitchen.

When you say your wall colour is “strong white” do you mean Farrow and Ball Strong White? Looks lovely. I’ve got the same dilemma-Dove Grey units in an east facing room which gets not much light. I’ve tried a million samples and can’t find that “right one”. Thanks

In my opinion it is the saturation level of the paint that is the problem. The beauty of your kitchen is the natural flooring and the wooden worktops, it looks earthy. This is swamped by the blue paint, it just looks wrong. Without seeing the cupboard door colours close up it is tricky but I would suggest looking for something a bit darker than the cupboards but with the same hue. If you want a strong contrasting wall a deep olive green would work as it would balance the wood and the purpley greys.

Hi Fattyma, I don't think it would be complicated.Which direction would the herringbone go?the size of the herringbone tile?I would go with a smaller herringbone tile for a smaller bathroom.If you haven't made a final choice yet,look at other tile patterns such as chevron similar to herringbone.There are also nice hexagon tiles would compliment the vanity and space. Kind regards, Clementine

There are ways of overcoming this issue if the right materials are available for your choice of manufacturer and the fitter has the requisite skills. I have attached a cad image of one solution. To answer your main query re: storage, the answer is as many deep pull-outs as you can manage and where the room shape allows, avoid corners! The main issue you have with this design is that it is unlikely to fit. If the corners of the room are not 90 degrees (which they never are) you will not necessarily have the 1840 dimension shown on the plan to fit in the tall units; without a tall filler beside the unit adjacent to the wall, there is no allowance for the walls to be out of plumb (upright), also there is no allowance for a corner post which is likely to lead to handles clashing. My suggestion would be to fit a narrow pull-out larder for maximum storage with a minimum 50 mm filler (preferably more). Increase both worktops to 650mm deep to allow for room discrepancies and the positioning of services behind units, with the added bonus of more worktop. If the hob is an induction model there shouldn't be a drawer underneath due to the cooling fan in the base of the hob, this could invalidate the warranty. We all want to fit in more than we can when planning our own rooms, it's human nature. A professional design might help to avoid costly errors at the point of installation and give you one design for multiple quotes instead of multiple quotes all with different designs.
