Help - Renovation Plasterboard 6mm

[Owil123]

Hi, I'm going to put renovation plasterboard on this wall. Do you think I should put it along option 1 or option 2?

Thanks!

It depends a bit on the measurements, but if you can install according to option 1 and cut away the recess on the long side towards the floor, you can avoid general seams.

What do you think about this then? There will be a few less seams.

Can you do it, as mentioned you should offset the joints by at least 300 mm, see https://www.norgips.se/kunskapsbank/tips-och-rad-for-montering-av-gipsskivor/

Ok does this also apply if it's not studs I'm screwing into? I've bought long wood plasterboard screws behind wallpaper etc there is a wood wall see image

Yes, read the assembly instructions I linked, and you'll get good information on how to properly install gypsum.

However, I would have used regular gypsum, at least against the råspont (wooden wall). It is stiffer and absorbs unevenness in the substrate better.

I would have placed perforated joint tape in the angle between the wall and ceiling, leveled with a laser from the gable corners.
Treetex boards under 6mm gypsum can easily get depressions.
