I need to plasterboard a wall where the studs are placed at irregular intervals (anywhere from 40cm to 60cm). As a result, the plasterboard joints will occur at points where there is no stud to attach them too. I think this has been a problem all over house as there are 8x4 shaped cracks all over the place.
How is this problem normally solved? is taping the seam enough to tie the ends of the boards together?
I was thinking of adding an 11mm OSB skin behind the plasterboard with the joints offset. Would that be overkill?
Cheers,
