Fixings - External Insulation

    I need to fix something not too heavy to external insulation and I am looking at using concrete screws approx 150mm. If I pre-drill until I hit the concrete I should be able to screw in and hopefully get a nice and strong secure fix.

    Has anyone here used this method before when fixing external insulation?

    On what type of block is the external insulation mounted? If it's cavity block (as opposed to a cavity wall) then the concrete screws won't hold as there's only a ~2cm wall on the blocks.

    Thankfully no it is not cavity, solid blocks and the walls are rendered.
