Plasterboarding stud walls is not a difficult job as long as a few simple guidelines are followed. The most important thing o remember is that if the plasterboard is not fixed tightly and at regular (fairly short) intervals, it will flex. If the plasterboard is allowed to flex the plaster skim on top of it will crack. • Each joint must be taped with scrim tape and where angles are encountered, as in this video, the joint should also incorporate a stop bead. The stop bead is stuch directly on topof the scrim tape and slightly overlapping the joint. This absolutely ensures that the joint willnot crack. • If you watch to the end of this video you willsee a joint being plastered that has been constructed this way and you will also see how the stop bead is applied to the wall. • The gaps in between the boards should not exceed 3mm and should always be covered with scrim tape. • Galvanised nails or drywallscews can be used to fix plasterboard to stud walls and both should finish flush with the boards surface or just a tiny bit under it. Do not drive the nails or the screws too far into the board or this will expose the plaster within the board. This plaster will soak all the moisture from the skim at this point and a dry spot may develop which could pop out if the wall moves as all. Galvanised nails are used, along with coated drywall screws, as neither of them will rust in the wall. More information on stud walling can be found here: https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects...
