Joint on double drywall
It is a really bad idea to make general joints like that, unless you like cracks, of course. You'll get a much better result if you stagger the joints.toker78 said:

If you place the joints on top of each other, you will crack the second sheet because there will be a gap due to the sheet being thinner at the edge.
It's not a problem when you have a full sheet over the joint.
If a 1200 sheet is too awkward to work with, there are 900 sheets available.

if the studding is a bit wonky or the stud arrangement is odd, you can use this http://www.gyproc.se/produkter/st%C3%A5lprofiler/%C3%B6vriga+profiler+pl%C3%A5t+och+tillbeh%C3%B6r/t-kortling

I don't know what you were thinking
but 600mm drywall is available for floors and ceilings.
1200mm and 900mm are standard for walls.

It wasn't me who placed the studs... it was like that from the start. I took down the old drywall because when I was removing the tiles, parts of the drywall came off too. So partly to avoid having to repair a lot, I thought it would be easier to just replace the old drywall with new ones. Then I wanted to place the studs crosswise to ensure they would grip into solid wood. Sure, it probably could have worked with molly plugs, but it feels better with prime timber. So it will have to be 1200 panels that are staggered. Thanks for the help, everyone...
