2700mm plasterboard

[richard pitman]

Hi All,

Boarding out 2.6m walls any issues with running 2700mm boards and cutting down rather than 2400mm boards?

Never used them before. Just trying to work out and potential problems.

Do you mean as in space for getting them through door openings initially etc?

No issues that's the best way to do it .No joint at 2.4

No problems. The way it should be done, miles quicker, and better job

Great, thanks, was concerned as lots of folks recommend laying board horizontally for strength but miles quicker vertically with large boards.

Didn't think about getting them in but would be room, good point!

I thought horizontal was to keep the paper edge across the studs for strength.

They should be staggered both sides of the stud for strength.

Oh so I can't just run 2700 boards upright along the length of the room?

 

[flynnyman]

Just stand them up

You're correct, but that was before 8x4's were used on studs where there is no raw edge spanning a timber
