Hi,
I'm starting to plasterboard around my Velux reveals. I have set the trimmer joists really far up.
With the angle there is no where to fix the plasterboard. Would it be OK to cut an angled bit of wood that is screwed to both bits of plasterboard where they meet? Would the wood need to be treated? Should it be fixed to the roof structure both ends?
Or should I make the angle much larger so I get closer to the trimmer joists? If so what is the best method to make sure the plasterboard stays in the velux slot?
Thanks!
