New Fitted Kitchen Noggin Height/Number

[leevis]

Hi All

I am getting a new fitted kitchen in a new extension, currently it has studs installed at 400m centres.

All of the units that are being installed will be at worktop level and high level so I would need to install noggins across the whole length to carry these.

This would be two noggins between each stud, is this enough?

Also should I put one in at the top and the bottom to carry the plasterboard (12.5mm)?

Osb the lot behind plasterboard then you have secure fixing everywhere.

To be honest I would ask the kitchen company at what height they want them if you're having it fitted.

If not have a look on the wall units at the set back and how large the wall plates are, where the fixing holes come etc first and work it out from there.

If your having larder units that could dictate the height of the top of wall units
