Default Re: Workshop lining

But you would screw the plasterboard onto the OSB not just the studs these days and the long edges should be across studs anyway. So a stud centre to centre of 2' is then correct if using 4' X 900mm baseboards or 6' X 900mm or even 8' X 1200mm if man enough.
We used to glue a lot of board rather than nail or screw, its faster, neater and causes less damage to adjacent boards.
If tape and sponge or skim is used as a finish, the boards should be gapped 3mm all round as well.
As an aside, there is a plasterboard product that we used but can't remember its name or maker that is plastic film finished covered on one side, ideal for lining where no other finishing is used, again glue fixed to avoid fixing points showing.
