My classroom has cinderblock walls with mortar grooves between the blocks. Is there a way to install this without pasting directly to the wall?

It comes in sections, so you could actually scotch/packing tape each section, one at a time, to the cinder block?

I just installed this in my classroom on the cinderblocks and it turned out great. Our maintenance supervisor did say that inexpensive backer board could go over the blocks first, but just be assured that the paste did adhere. The small tube of glue that is included nicely sealed the seams too. Good luck; it's a beautiful map!

The guard is hollow and fans out toward the tile wall. Thus, you have two edges against the wall. I like to run a bead of pure silicone caulk along those two edges to sort of stick it to the tile wall. Then, I fun another bead along the outside edges to give it a smooth appearance.

Yes, with proper fasteners, if you actually mean concrete block. The mounting flanges have decorative covers that are removable. I would suggest GRK Caliburn screws for mounting to concrete block, and use the largest that will fit thru the mounting flange slotted holes. In actual cinder block, I'd be afraid of anything holding the weight except perhaps the winged fasteners. If that is your situation, I'd consult with someone who knows more about cinder block from a structural perspective -- that's beyond my reach.

The one that came with mine was wrong size, so my tile guy made one from square carrara marble tiles, and made a sidesplash too for the side against wall. They have seams in middle, but look fine.

I would not count on it for cinder block. It was fine for a table/counter but I don't think it will be good for cinder block. Use chalkboard paint instead.

Since there are no wires to run, it should be pretty simple to drill into the mortar joint and insert a plug. One screw will hold it, but two are better. Ask for advise at any lumber yard. First be sure there is not an available spot on the wood garagedoor frame. Good luck, Jack

No. The adhesive foam tape will take the drywall paper off and the tile will bend. I wanted to straighten on that I had installed a little crooked and it bent a little and made a mess.

There are felt loops at the top corners. Depending on the type of wall, you can install L hooks or other hardware on which to attach the felt loops.

Not very easily. The material is thin, so doesn't provide much insulation value, and would be hard to glue to the wall. There are better products out there for that. Rigid foam insulation boards come in 2'x4' and 4'x8' sheets and come in 1/2",3/4", 1", 1.5" and 2" thicknesses. The 1/2"by 4'x8' sheets are $7.45 each at Home Depot (other lumber stores carry them as well), so they are cheaper per square foot than the Roberts felt underlayment, have a higher R value, and are easier to install. You can glue these foam sheets to the concrete using construction adhesive, then glue the drywall to the foam. A better method is to use 1x3" boards power nailed through the foam to act as an anchor for the drywall - then screw the drywall to the boards. There are also specialized products that are foam and already have the solid areas imbedded within the foam to screw the drywall to - but they are more expensive. The walls need to be dry, with no water seepage at any time of the year, or you will have mold problems.

I used staples to install. But you could use double sided tape. The staples worked great for me.

This material is not meant to be adhered to anything other than a drawer bottom. I personally would suggest the solid cedar (resembles an airwick type) or I would buy cedar panels at the hardware store and then fasten them to the walls so that they can be removed and sanded once a year. You can also use cedar solid blocks, but this drawer liner is much to fragile to put on a wall.

It may be possible to do so, but mine is mounted on the wall and tiled around (tile first, but leave one side untiled so the cornerpiece can be slipped into place without fighting the tile, unless you have huge grout lines). The tile should dry first because the cornerpiece needs to be held in place with tape while it dries in place. I really like how it looks.

It is possible to use this kit. I did the same size shower as you are doing. What I did was laid it out and was a little short on a couple of the sticks. I took some dry wall cardboard shims and cut them to the proper slope and stuck them where the extra pieces would go. I then applied the mortar and used the trowel to smooth it out. Once I had it to the proper slop I carefully pulled out the cardboard and filled in the slot that it came out of. Sounds hard, but was very easy to do. The extra sticks are expensive, especially if you only need a couple of inches.

You will need to drill holes in the concrete (masonry bit). Then use concrete screws.

My walls are cinderblock and I can not give you an honest answer. The system is kinda heavy for drywall. I personally would prefer to attach it to a stud through a wall but have to use mollybolts.

There are fasteners that for brick walls. They are designed to be put in the morter, not the bricks. I've hung many things in the past and have had no problems.
