Celotex for baseboard

For those of you who use celotex for your base board, what is the best way of attaching it to a framework please?
Cheers, Trev.

I used no-nails adhesive on the layout I built using foam insulation.

I've used both No nails type adhesives and also double sided carpet tape, either works fine. Prefer the double sided tape, doesn't need time to dry but does need to be positioned spot on first time.

Worries me a bit that the tape may become unstable with temperature differentials, particularly with the big summer/winter swing in the UK?

PVA glued and screwed every 12 inch or so

HI All

One of the nonails type glues are best and Not a solvent based one as they can melt the foam.

Just to endorse the no nails glue works very well

Hi all,
I take it that you mount it silver side down?
Cheers, Trev.
