Building An Interior Wall

Some remodeling projects involve building or relocating one or more building interior or office interior. Building a nonbearing interior wall is relatively easy, requiring just basic carpentry skills and tools.
Depending on the nature of your existing floor, walls, and ceiling, you may have to peel away some surface materials to provide for secure attachment at the top, bottom, and ends of the new wall. If the new wall building interior design won’t butt into studs at the connecting wall or fall directly beneath a ceiling joist, you must install nailing blocks between the framing pieces.
A typical interior wall has a skeleton of vertical 2-by-4 studs that stand between horizontal 2-by-4 base and top plates. (however, if a wall will contain extensive plumbing, it should be built from 2-by-6 studs and plates.) The framework is typically covered with gypsum wallboard (water-resistant “green” wallboard near a bathtub or shower), tile backerboard and tile, or lath and plaster.
To begin, mark the centerline of the new wall across the ceiling. At each end of the line, measure and mark half the width of the new wall’s top plate in one direction. Snap a chalk line between these marks. Plan one stud at each end and, from the end that meets a wall, measure 15 1/4 inches to locate the inside edge of the first intermediate stud and then 16 inches to the same edge of each additional stud

1.
On the floor, lay the top and bottom plates side by side. Carefully measure where each wall od building interior or office interior stud will go and mark with perpendicular lines across the plates, using a combination square so the studs will align perfectly.

2.Locate the joists in the ceiling building design and office building interior (here we’ve shown the drywall on the ceiling removed for clarity). Hold the top plate in position along the guideline marked on the ceiling and nail through the ceiling material and into each joist with two 3 1/2-inch nails (if the new wall runs parallel to the joists, fasten the plate to nailing blocks installed between the joists).

3.Hang a plumb bob from each end of the top plate on the ceiling to just above the floor and then mark the floor to establish the bottom plate’s location directly below it. Snap a chalk line along the floor between the marks as a guide for the bottom plate’s edge. Nail the plate with 3-inch nails staggered and spaced every 16 inches.

4.Use stud-framing clips, as shown, to install each building interior design wall stud. Lift the stud into position and line it up on its mark, flush with the edges of the top and bottom plates. Check plumb using a carpenter’s level and nail into place. (alternately, you can toenail each stud to both the top and bottom plate with 2 1/2-inch nails.)

5.Where one wall intersects another, double up studs of building design and office building interior, as shown, to receive the intersecting wall. If the wall will turn a corner, frame with two full-length studs that have blocks sandwiched in between.
