1. Set out the track locations. Ensure internal walls are perpendicular to the external walls by using the 3-4-5 triangle method.
2. Secure the top and bottom tracks in position using appropriate fasteners, at not more than 600mm centres. The first fastener should be no more than 10mm from the start or finish of each track or any opening.
3. Cut the studs to length - this should be 6mm shorter than the wall height.
4. Fit studs into both the top and bottom tracks, starting at the bottom, and with a twisting motion rotate the studs into position. Ideally, the studs should be orientated in the same direction to make fitting the lining board easier.
5. Fit the lining board to one side of the wall first. The lining board should be fitted such that the board is screwed to the open side of the stud first (see below). This will prevent any misalignment of the board along the wall. Secure the board to the studs with screws. Make sure the screws are slightly recessed so they can be covered later.
6. Allow any services to be run in the wall cavity, such as electrical, etc.
7. Line the second side of the wall, using the same method as the first, except that the joints in the lining board should be staggered. This is achieved by starting with a half sheet.
8. Fit corners and set the wall joints.
Framing layout for Window and Door openings
To finish off drywall installation, RhinoGlide (a quick setting joint filler) is applied to the joins. RhinoGlide is designed as a filler for plasterboard systems but can also be used as an interior crack filler and for filling rough plaster surfaces prior to painting.
RhinoLite is a combined basecoat and finishing plaster for interior use on Rhinoboard. RhinoLite may have brushed, textured or smooth and highly polished finish.
