It's not really a problem having imperial OSB. You just set your studs at 24 inch centres. Especially if there's no metric plasterboard being fitted to the same walls👍🏻

[@RobNorman08]

Great little video, i actually really enjoy doing a bit of stud work and i can confirm that Tru stud is really good stuff!, its always baffled me that although in this country we started changing to the metric system in 1965 we still have our sheet material in imperial, oh but not flooring or plaster board...thats metric..bonkers!

[@kiwigrunt330]

OSB in imperial makes no sense to me. MDF and Melteca can still be advantageous because it gives some leeway if you use it for kitchens or wardrobes. A 1200 ripped in two leaves less than 600.

Imperial is for carpentry and metric is for joinery, that's my tuppence worth, 👍🔨🇮🇪

[@gerbensibon]

geweldig om te kijken

[@nickhaley4663]

Now metric OSB could be a game changer, how often do you have to decide whether to set out for the OSB or the plasterboard, particularly on flat roofs. I've been using Trustud for quite a few years and it is so good for studwork BUT, it is expensive compared to sawn and treated, getting on for twice the price, so sometimes hard to justify. On a point of detail, I would call that bolted on plate a ledger, to me a pole plate is a wall plate which is fixed on top of the ceiling joists ready to take the rafters. Something else Robin, yesterday I picked up a few 3m lengths of 8x2 sawn and treated for a dormer header and I noticed that some of the lengths were finger jointed like the trustud, I've never seen that before.

[@tombeever6309]

If they're finger jointed it's called KVH Timber, it's all the rage in Germany.

Hi Robin great video again mate, probably a silly question but are you drilling pilot holes in the studs before you fix them in or are you going straight in with the screws?.

[@HarveyJohnWillmott]

Nice video for a Sunday morning Robin. I’d love to work for you.

[@stephensayers4998]

You should have doubled the head timber that supports the upper level floor. Or, at the very least, lined the floor beams up with the studs transfering load down to the floor. On a side note, i need to start using this stud. The last pack i used only had 50% usable straight stud.

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Stephen, the strength in the wall comes from the OSB sheathing that is fixed to the stud wall, a double header is overkill, I have been working with a timber frame engineer that has some amazing strength calculations with OSB clad walls and for the job this wall is doing it could have been up to 800 centres and 12mm OSB and that would have still eaten the loads, we tend to over build here and many structural engineers work on a safety factor of about 200%!! that covers variations in the skill of the craftsperson!!

[@stephensayers4998]

@Robin Clevett thats really interesting. And it's good to know moving forward. It does make sense when you break it down. I must admit i am one for over engineering just to make sure, so it's why this stood out to me. I also didn't know if the stud also had a better strength rating. It is always good to keep learning. Love the channel, btw

[@phillix5669]

If the sheets come in 3mm under, then you should use a 6mm packer shouldn’t you?

[@ukconstruction]

Basically if you start 1.5mm of the centre line of a stud then pop a sheet on you will be 1.5mm off the centre line of the next joining stud giving the 3mm space between sheets, another way of thinking about it is, take a sheet hold the packer on the side and it will measure 1200 so effectively the size you need

​@@justkiddin1980whilst you were being slightly facetious, it's an interesting point. You could place them at 625 centres, but then that might fall foul of some regulation or other. 312.5 centres would seem ridiculous too (and expensive) as well as difficult to measure accurately. 500 centres would work nicely, laying the sheet on its side, but then you'd have very high ceilings if you weren't cutting. Interesting.
