Plaster cracking in a timber frame house
Hi,
I'm building a timber frame house and my intention is to put up 15mm chipboard over the studs, with a 12.5mm plasterboard over that, and then skim the whole thing in plaster. I've now been told that this will repeatedly crack from now till the house falls down. Now I expect the plaster to crack as the building settles, but every year? Does anyone have any experience of plastering in a timber frame and what the long term consequences have been? Rex.. |

It's fairly common in timber framed buildings not to skim the plasterboard, but to used filled and taped joints. -- *Black holes are where God divided by zero * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
