Hi, if you were renovating an open space which is 3 mtrs high at its lowest point rising to 6 mtrs at the apex, into 5 rooms and retaining the height (insulation beneath the new roof tiles and inside joists insulated and plasterboarded between) a) what would you use for the interior walls, and b) does anyone know what French regs are for this sort of project?

As a disclaimer - we normally always use metal rails and understand the problems with humidity, insects etc if using softwood wood. But, on this occasion we have small concerns about rigidity.

hi

ok not going down the wood v metal route , but on long lengths on external walls  just bend a bracket screw it to the back of the montant so it`s just shy or touching the wall and throw a big dollop of plaster on it this glues it to the wall when it sets .

are there french regs ???

for soft wood use chevrons are not these treated ???
