stud wall

Hi. I'm re-doing my bathroom. I removed the 660mm long breeze block wall to the right of the entrance door. Then I changed my mind about something and I need to put in a wall again, but this time I feel it's more convenient to put up a timber stud wall. This wall will become one side of a...

We’ve been working to insulate the eaves / void area of my semi detached 1970s dormer. The area won’t be used for storage so I’m insulating the dwarf/stud wall and 1st floor/ground floor ceiling (rather than the rafters). The wall is foil faced plasterboard on 75mm studs. I understand that the...

I am about to start making a loft bed (to fit single mattress) and need some advice about attaching it to the walls. The bed will be in a small extension room. The size of the space allocated (100x190cm) means I could potentially attach it to three walls but wonder if two will be enough. There...

We have a large timber framed dormer. It is made of standard 4"x2" studwork and rendered onto lath (which is a bit the worse for wear - but that's another job). Anyway, I'd like to get some insulation in as the internal plaster is off at the moment. So what is the best thing to use. I was...

Hi, so the french cleats on my kitchen units are not going to match up with the studs on my kitchen wall. I am going to cut out the plasterboard and replace with ply and screw the units on to this. However it is just hardboard backing on the units, will screws through this in to the ply hold?

I would like to put a couple of shelves on a stud wall to support approximately 12kg of weight (an electronic keyboard plus a few musical effects units). I wanted to use an upright & bracket style of shelf, with a small pair of uprights and the 2 shelves approximately 30cm apart vertically. The...
