Screw chipboard

[Derbyboy]

Do you place screws directly over each other when screwing chipboard in a bathroom? The alternative is to stagger them?

What center-to-center measurements?

4.2x55 works as a screw, right?

Anyone?

There are plenty of good videos on how to assemble,

I think the glue matters more than how you screw.

Unfortunately, no answer to my question about displaced screws.

What do you mean by shifting the screws?

Screw straight across the seam with two screws in each sheet or

screw zigzag across the seam

It's very rare that you get the joint on a floor joist, pretty much never.

Since the joints do not need to lie on the joists, I would screw only into one board if you plan to place the joints on the joists. Usually, you lay them across the floor structure and let the joints land where they may. Just make sure that the joints are properly staggered and that you don't use really short pieces. Each piece should have 2 joists underneath. (in my opinion)
