Hi Ken
Just need to know.
1. Are there 2” stud partitions in wall?
2. How many are there along wall?
3. What distance from each other?
4. Why I find them with stud finder, if not magnets?
Thanks
Longshanks, good evening again.
If you think of the studs as generally being long strips of timber, not generally small cuts, OK that did happen?
The partition will have the studs as previously posted along, the ceiling, the floor and one vertical at the junction of the individual panels, and that is it the entire thing can and is considered rather "flimsy"
We used to nail the floor stud / runner down on to the T&G flooring in one complete unbroken length. the ceiling stud, again a single lenght of timber was nailed to either the first floor joists, or the underside of the ceiling tie through the pasteboard.
If you consider it, the stud is preferably one length of timber, yes it can be cuts of timber, BUT? if i was making money at this game, I would not be wasting my time on small lengths of timber, I would be slamming the studs down in one long length, faster and less work, and less nailing.
As for the outside walls, yes studs on them as well, all fixed as above, big trick was where two partitions at 90 degrees met each other, that is another story, you had to erect one wall, but where you knew there was another Paramount to join this wall at 90 degrees, you would cut the panel in the first to be erected wall so that there was a vertical stud fixed where the nest wall, the one at 90 degrees would need to be fitted to.
As for distances? as previous as a rule of thumb three feet. horizontally and at floor and ceiling only!
One off the wall [no pun] have a look at the Skirting s? why because if nailed, the only place the joiner can get a fix is at a vertical stud? just a consideration, you may be able to locate a nail in the skirting??
Ken.
