Making Super Chunks against concrete wall?

[spdrman288]

So I have 30 sheets of 1280 Minwool 3" thick. I was planning on building some super chunks in a couple corners, but my problem is that the basement has concrete foundation exposed. Is there a good way to attach the framing for the superchunks to the concrete?

The room is 27'L x 11'W x 7.5'H with concrete on one 27' and 11' wall. Thanks for the help.

you can attach whatever framing you build for the chunk to the concrete with a drywall anchor? ( dont know the english name)

Anyways, they look just like the plastic anchors you use in drywall, except you use them in concrete....all the walls here in greece are made of concrete and brick..so i have used a ton of them to hang things..

you use a concrete/mortar bit with a drill that has a hammer setting......the anchor should have number on it indicating the size drill you use...you drill the hole, then tap the plastic anchor in, then use the correct size screw...and you have a very secure connection to the wall.....

There's always the option of building them as stand-alone units that you would push back into the corner. If it's not a matter of preference, they would perform equally as well.

The terminology is the same (anchoring/fixing system), Rawlplug is a commonly used brand in the U.K.

Yeah I might end up building them stand-alone so down the road they will be easier to move down the road. and that way I don't have to fill holes in concrete either.

it might be a good idea to figure out some way to secure them, even if its just at one point....they probably wont weigh much....but in case they get accidently bumped/eathquake/whatever....you dont want them to toppling over.

Since I'm building the floor to ceiling i'll anchor them at the ceiling.
