Have 106mm door casing and trying to work out the stud wall timber width required (from Jewsons)?
100mm stud work timber: actual size = 89mm
75mm stud work timber: actual size = 63mm
Allowing 25mm for plasterboard (both sides of wall) and 6 mm for skimming (both sides of wall), I cant get to a 106mm casing width.
89+25+6 = 94mm
63+25+6 = 120mm
Am I just being stupid? I'm sure this must be done all the time? 75mm would obviously be the correct thickness but the difference between stated and actual is confusing me!
Many thanks for any advice
