Stud wall thickness for kitchen cabinets

[CozHouse]

Hopefully a simple question...
What minimum thickness would I need a Stud wall to be to attach kitchen cabinets to? If it makes a difference, they are tall cabinets which will be standing on the floor i.e. not hanging wall cabinets.

Many thanks

If the weight is on the floor, then suitable plasterboard fixings would presumably suffice to prevent the cabinet from tipping forward, or you could screw direct into a stud fixed to the plasterboard.

Thank you, I was wondering if we needed to face the stud with ply. Thinking 100mm stud, 12mm ply, 12mm plasterboard, 3mm plaster?
Need to calculate an alcove to check the kitchen cabinets will fit. Thanks

If you used ply you could possibly go to 50mm studs as the ply would firm it up

38mm cls with 9.5mm plasterboard

Thank you all for taking the time, I'll investigate those options

thickness of the stud wall or the stud wall covering (ie. plasterboard) is irrelevant - neither do you need any extra backing support.
your unit will be wider than 370mm (the distance between studs) therefore your unit must land on at least one stud.
use that stud for fixing to as blup suggests above.
