Timbre Stud to concrete wall

Idioteque

Hi,

I've removed a non load-bearing stud wall that was very poorly constructed including the use studs of 1 x 1.5" and I'm replacing it with a better wall.

The wall is diving two bedrooms at the front of the house and so the partition runs from there.

Where one of the old end studs met the house front wall, it had a metal brace thing which kept it off the wall and which the stud screwed into (The flanges of the brace ran behind some PB either side).

Can I simply attach a new treated stud directly to the concrete brick or do I need to do anything else to take into account to protect against vapor, moisture etc.

Thanks

You had an acorn prefabricated panel wall there. Get rid of the metal clip and attach the first 3x2 stud To the brick using express nails.

These walls are a pain as the door frames are slotted and fit either side of the wall.

If you've got more of these walls and want to fit standard door frames, you can also use some 50mm insulated slab attached to the wall, then plaster. Will bring it to the correct thickness.
