Excellent video! So I'm planning to apply the same steps explained here but I have just one issue which is basically that my u track + 2 plasterboards won't fit the whole width of an arch opening I'm trying to cover up so everything is even. I'm missing around 1.5cm on each wall. I can see two boards are screwed here, so the base one doesn't need fixing? For two 12.5mm boards I'd be looking to use 35mm screws right? Last thing, the door lining is fixed straight to the vertical stud? Is not necessary to fill the cavity of the vertical stud with another piece of timber? Many Thanks, Juan

1. You may opt to look for other studs width or board thickness to gain back the extra 1.5cm(15mm) to flush your drywall to the existing opening. Or, you can just add a 15mm plasterboard fixed onto one side of the drywall while retaining the original configuration of having 12.5mm plaster boards fixed onto both sides of the metal framing. This method is just for you to obtain the exact wall thickness to flush with the existing. 2. You may add timber batten to reinforce the vertical studs for door frame installation. Alternatively, you may also opt to box up the vertical studs by splicing both of the c studs together. 3. As long as the screws used are 12.5mm longer than the thickness of plasterboards, that shall be fine. Hope this helps!
