please accept my apologies for the English.

Hello everyone. I am in the final stages of building a house, and have come to the insulation of the garage - a task we decided to undertake ourselves, which we have now found needs more work than we had planned.

We have insulation, the plastic weatherproof sheets, tape etc to do this part of the job, but our builders have now asked that we sort out the fixing for the plasterboards (I think the term is glesning)

I do not have any experience of this and was wondering, what dimension of timber do we use, what sort of spacing do we have (is it just CC 60 from the floor up).

This may seem like a simple question, but I do hope that you have a few minutes to help me.

I am not sure exactly what you refer to with "fixing of plaster boards." Normally you don't use that on walls. The plaster boards are just screwed directly into the wall studs. Some people like to put OSB or plywood first (to be able to easily screw stuff anywhere on the wall).

If you are having plaster boards in the ceiling, however, you normally have 28x70 "glespanel" on 300mm spacing center/center.

Perhaps I can show you an example with a picture.

As you can see the wall is insulated, then the plastic damp proofing has been done, then on top of this plywood strips.

It's the extra wood that I am unsure of.

Hope this helps better explain.
 
Put insulation between the extra wood. The space is good to not penetrate the plastic when you put up shelves etc. Don't forget to put one in the bottom.

Consider using OSB or plywood behind the plaster board for more ease of putting stuff on the wall and increased rigidity.

We had considered OSB, but right now we need to just insulate the walls and then have it ready for the builders to come and hang plaster board.

I don't think I'm explaining myself very well. Sorry for the confusion.
 
Here is a description of what you need
Annotated wall construction diagram showing layers: taped seam, extra insulation, plywood/OSB, gypsum, and plastic over the main wall structure.


Btw please upload the pics directly to the forum and insert to your post

Tack för bilden, jag är lite mer förvirrad, eftersom när jag pratade med mina byggare sa de att jag inte behöver OSB och istället göra en ram med plywood.

Jag tror att jag måste få någon att förklara personligen eftersom jag tror att det är något jag missar i översättningen.
 
Var ska man göra den ramen?

If you only put gypsum you have to hit the beams with the screws if you want to mount anything heavy

I think the builders are wanting the same sort of cc60 spaced wood that you would do for a roof before nail gyps to it.

We've asked for clarification as OSB seems like an easier task.
 
You are missinterpreting. The spaced wood should be there anyway. But you already have most of it in the picture.
 
H
Ah nu förstår jag. That picture is not the actual wall. The wall is uninsulated right now. But I think I know what I need to do.

I am sorry this has been so confusing but I don't have a great knowledge of building.
 
You can look at these YouTube clips to understand more.
