When insulation needs fitting externally, consider the use of stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion. I haven't tried resin fixings and they may be brilliant but I certainly wouldn't use any conventional expanding plugs or bolts in aercrete blocks as over time they will almost certainly give way.As long as the plugs go into the actual block wall to the required depth and not just poked into the plasterboard, then the fixing will be OK.

Plastic plug and screws are perfectly acceptable for most medium-duty applications such as fixing kitchen units, frame fixing and external fixings. I'm told the block tends to just crumble and can't take much weight, what's the best way to go about this? Thermalite blocks are quite brittle and can be easily drilled or cut producing a lot of dust when worked. The advantage of using plastic insulation fixings is that they help retain the insulation values of a building by mitigating potential heat loss at fastening positions.
