I am having a block wall dot and dabbed with 12.7 mm plasterboard then skim finish. There is a step in the wall and I would like to put battens on the recessed bit so when it is skimmed the wall is flush all the way along. I assume the battens have to sit proud of the blocks as the thickness of dot and dab and is greater than just nailing the board to the battens. I would like to know how much the battens should sit proud in order for the board to sit flush on both sides?

dot and dabbing 12.5mm boards equates to 25mm finished thickness (average).
