jayc89 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I'm framing out our house in prep for internal wall insulation. I'm deciding between timber and meta framing. Timber is looking more expensive, so I'm leaning towards metal framing. One unknown I have with metal framing is what the corner detail looks like to accept plaster board on both faces. Is this the correct detail? Does the 2nd C-Stud on the rear track need to be wider to accept both the PB and a screw through form the adjoining C-Stud? Separately, for the stud that runs parallel to the ceiling joists, how should the track be secured? Noggins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nod Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 The detail on the internal corner is wrong The board should fly to the end of the stud and the next stud is fastens over it We normally leaves the internal studs loose when first siding Then fixed them on second siding When the plumbers and electricians have finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nod Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Yes we do But never go metal to metal One reason is strength But the main reason is sound Even the ceiling and wall track should be cut short at the corners 20 mil for single board 40 for double 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
