Adjustable spacer for panels against sloping studs?
You should probably expect a follow-up question when you claim that it doesn't work to mount a regel next to the other regel. If you can't handle that people might not buy everything you claim, maybe you should think twice before answering.
That's probably true, but before we get there, you could start by clarifying the big details of your claim.SBH said:
But unfortunately, it's quite classic that one doesn't want to do that when seeing the world in black and white, and any open-hearted discussions and perspectives risk overturning this...
okay what to do with windows, doors, and openings?smurfen72 said:
Note first that I do not take a position on any of the solutions but would like those who propose solutions or reject others to also explain in detail why in cases where it is requested.SBH said:
There are trim pieces in MDF that can be used. You can also use a metal angle on OSB if it's used but behind gypsum to provide stability in the angle so it doesn't crack. You could add a 45x45 if there's space or a split one.
What I meant by one of my comments above is that this is a typical problem that doesn't have just one correct answer; it's a gray mix of many different solutions, each with their pros and cons to varying degrees. A dilemma might be a small house with small rooms, where you might not want to add more material than necessary, for example. And so on...
EDIT: As you can see, I have some ideas, but I would happily read everyone's suggestions, whether good or not so good, because it gives me various ways to approach solving such problems. So for my part, it's all positive the more people chip in on the thread—it helps many to learn a bit more or come up with new ideas...
If there are any windows, doors, or openings in TS's case, you let the OSB and plasterboard extend up to the reveal. If you don't like that, you place wedges right there. Why complicate the entire wall if it's only needed in a few places?SBH said:
Timber that is split into a wedge doesn't add much either when you set battens. It builds a bit more if you set a stud with frame screws.schmakita said:First, note that I am not taking a stand for any of the solutions but would like people who propose solutions or reject others to also explain thoroughly why in cases where it is requested.
There are MDF moldings that can be used.
You can also have an angle bracket on OSB if it is used but behind drywall to provide stability in the angle so it doesn't crack.
You could put on a 45x45 if it fits, or a split one.

There will be some extra work when an additional detail needs to be made in all openings.
