Dear all, as part of my garage conversion I have been asked by the building control officer to fix studs to the wall, add insulation, a vapour barrier and plasterboard. It's a single brick wall and it has piers every 1.5 meters more or less. That means that I need to get quite deep studs to provide an even surface for the plasterboard. I have the battens ready, they are 15 by
5 centimetres, but being so deep, what is the best way to fix them to the wall?I can't just screw them because I can't find screws long enough. I've thought about fixing thinner studs to the wall horizontally and them skew nail the studs to them vertically. Another option would be to fix them using some kind of metal brackets.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
