Hi all. I added an extension to my house and the new bedroom only had a window leading outside. Now that window leads into the kitchen (extension). Am about to add a window in different wall and would like to take the window out and "complete" the wall.
I have a couple of C16 47x100 timbers left from the build and am wondering if using those to form a stud wall with noggins, then come up with plasterboard and finish it off would be ok. Planning to keep the cill, redo and use in the bedroom as space for pictures and on the other end (kitchen end) to add some hanging cupboards.
My questions are:
- will c16 timber be sufficient? None of the sides will be exposed to outside.
- I presume I'd have to add some plywood on the kitchen side where the cupboards will be for added strength?
- I assume that keeping and making use of the current window wood frame would not be an issue? It doesn't appear to be rotten or damaged.
Anu suggestions would be most appreciated!
