I'm in the process of constructing a small stud wall / door way (around 250mm of stud either side of the doorway), which butts up to a brick wall so that the entire thing runs like one continuous wall. The brick wall has had the plaster stripped away approx 200mm back from the new stud wall.
Attached picture for info.
I am going to plasterboard the wooden frame and then get it skimmed but am unsure as to the best way to go about this.
My thoughts currently are - fix the plasterboard to the wooden frame using drywall screws with the boards overlapping the wooden frame and brick wall, and use adhesive on the brick wall (after cleaning it of excess plaster, etc. and dampening it down with a bit of water to contain the dust).
What i'm slightly concerned about is the possibility of the plasterboard being stressed differently between the wall and wooden frame, and the different types of fixing. Is it possible that it is more likely to crack?
