Having panelled the shower with hollow UPVC panels I need to fit a shower curtain rail ( not an enclosure).
The hollow panel is dot and dabbed onto a wall with old victorian plaster about 2cm thick.
10mm hollow upcv
5mm dot and dab space
20mm old plaster.
Then victorian red brick.
The rail needs to flow in an L shape with one curtain, no interruptions.
I got one from Screwfix : Croydex Slenderline that says use the supplied rawlplugs only for solid masonry
I thought about extended 12mm wooden plugs and screws but then looked at M4 bolts.
How about some aluminium m4 sleeve 7mm outer diam about 50mm length embedded into the wall ( gorilla glue) that extends to the surface of the upvc panel so it cinches tight onto metal not weak upvc.
Never heard of this used before so flying this kite as a sanity check.
