Splashback tiling amost on benchtop

[taylor]

Hi again
I choose to make a separate thread as I need to tile a splashback where the cabinets and benchtop go in first then tile villaboard not sure what type of nails or screws should I use to penetrate the brick wall behind the board?

The other question is what should I use to space between the benchtop and the tiles as a batten is out of the question and the tiles are heavy porcelain?

Thank you

Cut a hole in the tile 45mm by 95mm where the powerpoint is to be and let the sparky deal with the rest.
