What this detail covers
- Connecting internal stud walls at an intersection.
- Where sheathing is required, and where it is “as required” by design/engineering.
Key steps
- Set out wall lines and centres from the drawings.
- Form the intersection with the specified timber blocking/overlap so linings remain straight.
- Add sheathing where required and fix to the specified schedule.
Checks
- Wall studs and noggings align to the required centres.
- Intersection is rigid enough to take linings without movement.
Common mistakes
- Missing backing at the intersection, leading to cracked finishes.
- Building the intersection differently to the intended lining strategy.
Indicative only: always follow the engineer’s fixing schedule and the project drawings.
