Thinner alternative to drywall?
I'm changing out my kitchen ovens and the new one
needs an additional 3/8 to 1/2" of side clearance. It is a sheetrocked wall, 1/2". Because it will be hidden doesn't matter about looks. The oven is rated to be installed in wood cabinets with essentially zero clearance. Some options that come to mind: 1 - Remove the drywall and trim the studs down by 1/2" over the full height of the wall using a router? Other ideas? Then re-drywall. The wall is non-load bearing. 2 - Just leave the one section of hidden wall where the ovens are without drywall. It's just a short wall, not open to anywhere above or below and will never be seen. 3 - Same as two but use sheetmetal to cover the studs. 4 - Other ideas? Is there some other product that is thin and can be used instead of sheetrock for something like this? Thanks for any input! |
