does it not come complete with metal backing or is the wood the back box like the old wylex consumer units .
Bit of a random question. But if it was me I would put shower sockets and lights on one side. And sockets whatever the 16amp breakers for and the other lighting circuit on the other rcd.
As above, ring main, lighting and Shower on 1 side and the other ring main, lighting and 16A on the other.
Hope your main OCPD is 63A or less.

Also MK are dog shyte mains boards, get a hager for the same price and thank me later.
Wheres the SPD?
Wheres the SPD?
the special police detective is on the beat .LOL.
Of the around 10ish mains changes ive done this year only 1 has turned down the SPD.
As above, RCBO for the lighting as a minimum.
Yeah , another advice on topic))
If you dont like when i go slightly off topic dobt read it, i was asking where the SPD is, its relevent to the work your doing.
The RCBO is common sense if the house only has 1 lighting circuit to cause minimal disruption to the customer in the event of a fault.
I dont think you should even be fitting a mains board if you have to ask such a basic question such as how to lay out the circuits.
Also you havent answered the question on weather the main OCPD is 63A or below?
yes a king eddy atgas marked 9 in the microwave .
Oops and now it’s just tripped the rcd, taking everything out apart from the shower, watch you don’t fall over them on that lovely wooden floor
If there's only one lighting circuit, what's the second 6A MCB?
The split is how I would do it, with the ring on the same side as the shower being the house ring, rather than the kitchen ring. This is to even out the load between the two sides, and is less likely to plunge the house into total darkness if the RCD on the lighting side trips, since there may be table lamps/ TVs on the house ring.
This won't comply with the current regs unless the fuse/cut out supplying this board is rated at no more than 63A. The LH RCD would have to be rated at 80A with a 40A and 32A MCB fed from it.
While on the subject, whose bright idea was it to choose 32A and 63A
as 'standard' ratings. 32A and 64A and you could feed two 32A MCs from a 64A RCD, or similarly two 30A MCBs from a 63A RCD.
