Horizontal or vertical

[stefan64]

Quick question:
Does it matter at all if you install 13mm plasterboard on studs horizontally or vertically? (I mean the boards) The studs have cc60 vertically and cc120 horizontally.
If I have them horizontally, there will be slightly less waste.

No problem at all. Just go for it!

Even if it's regular walls, you'll have more work with chamfering the short sides + spackling....

Ok!
It ended up standing anyway.
Regarding the beveling of the short ends, there have been a few after some puzzling.
How can you bevel these the easiest now that the boards are already in place?

Cut a bevel with a utility knife.
