Plasterboard noggins at joints


Pocster

Recommended Posts

I’m putting in noggins ready for the plasterboard ceiling .

What should I do where sloped plasterboard meets horizontal ceiling ?

A noggin at the top ( and bottom ) for the slope . Another noggin at the top for the ceiling ? . Just seems wasteful and awkward - or is it simply the way ?

The edges of each board need support imho.

Yeah that’s what I thought . 
I’ll use more noggins and put the ceiling pb up first . Then at least the sloped pb will offer some support at the joint ( ceiling to slope ) . Probably over thinking it as it avoids doing the work ?

15 mil and above don’t need the edges to be supported Even at 600 mil 

 

Wasn't there a thread about this very issue a little while ago? Tbh I thought it had been said they needed support...

 

Do you just tape the joint then?

 No 15 mil will carry over 600

Nearly all trusses are counter battened with 75x25 at 600

The PB on the.ceiling should always be 15 mil on 600 centers 

 

 

My bathroom walls and ceiling are 12.5mm moisture resistant on 400mm centres. Will it fall down? ?

 

The upstairs 4 rooms in the dormer are 9.5mm pb on walls AND ceiling. The proverbial plasterboard tent.
