    Hello folks,

    renovation an 70 year old bungalow. The external walls will be getting insulated plasterboard but the internal walls are not in bad shape and I could get away with a good skim. Also the wall runs are very short.
    Saw someone mention here before about slabbing internal walls and wonder what is the point?

    Tks a lot

    Hi no point in slabbing the internal walls. You would also have problems at door jambs. Just thistlebond the walls and re-skim

    Alot do it, you can widen the door frames by bonding on 2x1 with tech 7 and tech 7 the slabs. Good job.

    Or fixing metal stop-beads to the end of the sheetrock, skimming, painting and using this as an extra arris. I got rid of all my door and window architraves years ago and it looks great.

    Please read, digest and regurgitate as I'm liable to ask a trick question when you least expect it! :)
