Hello everyone,
I want to section off a bathroom in a room. I have marked the wall lines in red in the picture.
The wall will be 3.40m (11 ft 2 in) high.
For the cladding, I plan to use 15mm (5/8 inch) OSB boards with 12.5mm (1/2 inch) drywall panels on top.
I want to build it with metal UW and CW profiles.
Can you tell me what minimum width the UW and CW profiles should have?
My other questions are:
- Should the OSB boards be installed with staggered joints?
- Do the joints of the OSB boards need to be filled and sanded?
- I have read that you should leave a few millimeters of gap between the boards and the wall/floor/ceiling. How can I seal this gap to prevent sound transmission?
Thank you in advance
