Hello
I am working on an extension of the summer house. It is framed with 145x45. On the exterior, there is paneling, an air gap, and asphalt board.
It's about time to start on the interior. I was thinking of insulating with 145 plus 45. Since I will have horizontal paneling, I need vertical studs 45x45.
Would you place noggins between the 145 studs at 120 centers and then set vertical 45x45 at 60 centers to attach the paneling, or go with horizontal 45x45 and then place noggins between them?
The simplest way is to screw the 45x45 onto the existing studs, but won't that create thermal bridges?
