Arnold9801 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I have a lot of plasterboards to fix on our new builds stud partition walls upstairs. I've started by using 5x columns of 10 screws on each sheet of 8ft x 4ft plasterboards resulting in 300mm spacings. With 50 screws per sheet my plasterer says the spacings should be 9 inches apart on the walls. Could someone advise me on what's best as British Gypsum says on their website to use 32 drywall screws? I'm using more than they recommend and yet my plasterer says I should be using more than that again! Many thanks. Arnold9801 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Every 200 is fine But gypsum actually mark them on with a green x every 300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are referring to the length of the screws: https://www.toolstation.com/drywall-black-phosphate-phillips-screw/p39626?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&mkwid=_dc&pcrid=&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=CjwKCAjwoIqhBhAGEiwArXT7K3NK8eSTXD41__TXnzGfqcA8-GCdC5GO91Z2LDTVImlZGmxJDWUjRBoCHmwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
