Stud Wall Construction Confusion
Hello all
Apologies for war and peace but..... I'm building a stud wall and I'm confused on a number of points regarding the door frame. I will try and explain below: 1. The width of the door lining (frame) is 108mm wide and my studs are 100mm. With plasterboard (12.5mm) and skim this will stand proud by a considerable amount, I'm obviously missing something here anyone care to give me a lesson? Will the architrave just hide this and it should be butted up to the edge of the plasterboard? 2. Also is the door head the part that is supplied with the door lining? I have a bit of wood which has 2 rebates at each end but on the opposite side to each other and at different spacing from the ends. I'm asuming here that this is a universal door lining kit which will take 2 sizes of door and the vertical frame slots into this in a tongue and groove manner?? 3. What's the best way to construct the door studs? was thinking as follows: run 2 full length studs from the sole plate to the head plate and attach each one either side of the door opening and then cut 2 studs the height of the door and attach these to the full length studs. Cut the door head to length and attach to the top of the door height studs. This method basically eliminates the requirement to channel a recess into the door studs. Does this sound reasonable? 4. One end of the stud wall which will only be a stud wide (2")will attach to a solid wall and I plan to drill, plug and screw this, I then plan to attach the door height stud to this, does that sound OK? Thanks and appreciate your help as usual. Richard |
