I am sure this is an easy question to answer
I need to attach a couple of outside lamps and a rainwater downspout to the outside walls of my house. In both cases the outside facade is an expanded polystyrene layer 60mm thick. The lamps, which are at house level, would go into the timber frame, under the PS layer, used for the internal drywall. The bracket for the downspout is at cellar level under the PS layer I have concrete.
How do I do this? Is the kind of fixing shown here (http://www.rawlplug.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=76&Itemid=34) the right one to use or do I need something else? I'd greatly appreciate any advice.
