Questions about using GypLyner wall lining system...

[MattTrinder]

Hi All



I'm looking at using this to board out the hall, stairs and landing in our 1910's terrace. The brickwork in places is very wonky and this looks like it makes the job of levelling everything out much easier than using timber battens.



I'm struggling to find answers to a few things though, so any help you can offer would be gratefully recieved.



1) What distance apart do the verticals need to be for 1.8mx0.9m 12.5mm board, - Is 450mm OK as it means that each board standing vertically will have a vertical on each edge and one in the middle.

2) What happens where two boards meet, on the vertical edges - are the vertical metal battens wide enough for each board to be fixed onto one half of them ? Or do I need to use one vertical for each board ?

3) Similar to above, what happens at horizontal edges, i thought all board edges needed to be fixed to something behind them ?

4) Do I need horizontal noggins midway up the verticals - none of the pictures seem to show them...



Cheers



Matt

use the gyp frame set up m8 its twice as quick and you make your own wall level as you go

i think there 50mm and 450mm centers but you can get wider fab work
i use a hilti gx120 to fix the brackets with 39mm nails
12.5mm board
iv got a box of 100 clips if you want them £50 posted as there about £70 at jewsons
you can get all the 50mm stud work from wickes £2/£3 each
i use this set up a lot and as a extra yoou can fixx out with insulation

Sorry to butt in on your thread OP, I’d like to ask plstering a question if I may.

Great pics & you certainly like em big Can I ask how you formed that backlit, recessed ceiling? Got someone who’s after a similar effect but no real idea of how they want it done; more pics or details of how you did it would be gratefully received.
