Hello!
I have a few questions for you.
First, about the stud walls:
Usually, the spacing is 625mm (25 inches). However, I plan to cover the walls first with OSB and then with drywall. My drywall sheets are 2.00 meters by 1.25 meters (6 ft 7 in by 4 ft 1 in), but my OSB panels are 1.84 meters by 675mm (6 ft by 26.5 inches) and 15mm (0.6 inches) thick. Should I then base the spacing only on the OSB and use 613mm (24 inches) spacing and install the panels horizontally? If so, I can screw the drywall in any way I want, right?
And another question regarding the ceiling.
It should be level at the roof ridge, and I have already started installing battens there. OSB and then drywall will be installed on the ceiling as well. In my opinion, a spacing of over 600mm (24 inches) seems quite large. Is it possible that the ceiling could sag with such spacing?
I’ve also attached pictures for both questions...
Thanks in advance
