Hi,
Contractors are completing my basement and tanking it all (Delta Membrane). I am installing metal stud walls to the edges of the room that will be insulated but only plasterboarded on the one side, so I am concerned about the strength/possible felixibility of the wall as it will be approx 2.7m high with 12.5mm plasterboard. Some walls will have 50mm metal C studs and others 70mm. Will the studs need to be fixed to the wall (with proper tanking fixings) at a point around the middle to stop them bowing in/out, or will they be strong enough on their own? I want to avoid any fixings into the tanking if possible (for obvious reasons).
Thanks
