Installing drywall on walls

Hello, I've attached two pages for you. Maybe they are helpful. Personally, I would prefer the version with the stud frame because you don't have to compensate much for the unevenness of the old wall and a 100% straight wall is created. It might be slightly more expensive!!!!! But it also goes faster because you only need to screw the profiles to the ceiling and the floor. The rest is just plugged in.

Hello,

I would say a vertical battening. The middle batten should then be at 62.5.
Start in such a way that you don't start or end with a full panel, so you cut off the machine edge. That way, you only need to apply acrylic in the corners and not plaster.......

Hello, I don't want to step on your toes but since when is battening done vertically? As far as I know, the panels are placed vertically and battening is done horizontally.

Thanks for the tip about the stud frame, I thought that at first too, but the problem is that the ceiling is a clay plaster ceiling and there is no beam at the very edge where I could attach it. So the slats horizontal on the wall. But the drywall sheets are the regular ones you get at the hardware store, right? I mean the ones with the rounded corners that get filled later. Maik

At the hardware store, you mostly find the boards from Knauf. But they are basically the same. At the building materials dealer, there are also different sizes of drywall!!!

1,250 x 2,000 mm as well as
1,250 x 2,600 mm

If the room height is not higher than 2.60m, I would take the larger boards. They are a bit heavier but you don’t need to fill cross-joints. For filling the joints, I would recommend Unifüll (without reinforcement tape). Filling with reinforcement tape does require a bit of skill. Have fun!!!!!!!!

I'm not a thin-skinned person...

Do you also install the studwork crosswise?
Then why not the wood vertically as well.

You should at least screw the drywall every 30 cm, so there should be a batten every 30 cm as well. Well then, happy drilling...............

Hello, I didn't mean that you are a tie-wearer either. Years ago I took a further training course in drywall construction and it was explained that way. Batten spacing 62.5 cm – by the way, screwing is done on the battens at 25 cm intervals (standard). We want to advise everyone here professionally correct if possible and not just how someone once saw it somewhere. I also reread on the internet that wood cladding is lathed horizontally. All clear?
