"Drywall"

It's the time taken I was thinking of.

Why are you so obsessed with fire safety? You're such a snowflake.

Try heating your home.

Oh and go into your attic and look at what's under your roof tiles. WOOD! Has it buckled? No!

I just like wood as it's very easy to work with.

Because real wood is stupidly expensive, burns if you have a fire.

The sort of fake wood panelling used in the 70 is an obscenity.

And if you are Michelangelo you paint the wall while it's wet.

As a teacher of tradesmen, now retired, I can very assuredly tell you that you are totally wrong and haven't a clue. As I said in another post, it's easy to see you aren't a tradesman.

I'm not.

Even he doesn’t anymore for some reason.

As Clare just stated, the wall studs provide the location and the nails/screws prevent movement. Nothing more is needed.

It was common here a couple of decades back when I had my kitchen done. Possibly not now. The problem with screws on a reno is that the wall studs in my old house were hardwood. That wood had become as hard as the hobs of hell and screws wouldn't penetrate. Yes, only the ceiling was glued AFAICR. The original was nailed with fibre & plaster laths strapped over roof beams at strategic locations.

I notice the new plaster nails are no longer galvanised here also. Zinc plated, IIRC. You can still get the galvanised ones at the local hardware.

Well, my first house was 53 vintage and it had plasterboard sheets. The only difference between those and the current is that they had horsehair through the middle of it.

The only lathwork in that house was in the shower. The shower cubicle consisted of laths rendered with cement upon which tiles were laid. It wasn't done that way on the reno. ;-)

Indeed, plasterboard sheets go up very quickly.

Since the plasterboard sheets are attached to the same studs, one above the other, it would be a miracle if they moved in relation to each other.

The sheeting is designed for use with tape.

I must be. It came off in complete sheets. But then, I'm a tradesman.

;-)

Pity about the vertical joins.

Do you have reading comprehension issues? *I did remove it* 20 years ago when I redid my kitchen. Also did the laundry, bathroom and toilet at the same time. The rest of the house didn't require new plaster sheeting.

It's called a *guarantee*.

Not with the vertical joints.

No wood under my roof tiles, just foil type insulation and the battens.
