I am about to replace some plasterboard in an alcove area in a downstais cloakroom. I removed this as it seemed easier than getting the tile adhesive off, as I saw recommended in another thread.
The back wall is 1170mm wide by 2310 high.
There were full width noggins 1/3 and 1/2 of the way down the wall already. I have also added noggins (using 45 degree angled screws due to access constraints) to the right hand 2/3 of the width, 1/3 of the way up in order to screw the new wash stand to them. There are a further 2 on the left hand side and one on the right in the top third.
The new boards are 900x1200, meaning I will need 3 across the back wall.
I am reluctant to add more noggings where the boards will joint as there are so many already!!
Should I
a) Cut the board, which would remove a wrapped edge in order to screw the joint at an existing nogin, but would presumably give me a poorer join than between two wrapped edges.
Or
b) Is it better for the boards to join away from a noggin
Or
c) Stick yet more noggins in
There is a central stud and one at each edge. Plus, the bottom half of the wall also has two intermediate studs from the central noggin to the sole plate.
