Correct distance for sparse panel

[okaenrique]

"Hi!

I have torn down the ceiling in a room and discovered that there are missing spacing battens. I plan to use spacing batten 28x70 and gypsum board Plan Norgips 13x900x2400 mm. Does anyone know if the distance between the battens should be 300 mm or 600 mm for the best result?"

"Hello!

I have removed the ceiling in a room and discovered that the cross battens are missing. I plan to use cross battens 28x70 and plasterboard Plan Norgips 13x900x2400 mm. Does anyone know if the distance between the cross battens should be 300 mm or 600 mm for best results?"

Set the battens at cc300.

Will soon also thin out and will then also go for 300mm.

 

[okaenrique]

Will also thin soon and will then also run at 300mm

are you going to nail or screw?

are you going to nail or screw?

Most likely will screw with 60mm screw or similar.

If I remember correctly, it's 30cc if you screw the drywall in the same direction as the studs and a maximum of 40cc across the studs.

However, I don't think one will enjoy the few pennies one could theoretically save with 40cc instead of 30, so I know what I would choose.

Norgips has a very comprehensive handbook for drywalling, not rocket science but there is certainly something sensible there that one can take with them.
