Does a plaster wall have studs?

Question

I m going to put up a Tub Surround,above the tub.

Answer 1

Hi,yes there are studs every 600 mm,if it was built correctly.

Answer 2

Yes it does. It also has small boards that run horizontal.  On most older homes the studs were set 24" apart on new homes they are 16"on center

Answer 3

not all walls have studs. there is a new building method being used where they sandwich a thick piece of rigid foam inside two pieces of plywood or OSB. assembly is quick and easy and the wall is preinsulated to upwards of r-60. pretty good huh? but chances are...yes your wall has studs.

Answer 4

Yes, it does. Whether the plaster is in the form of sheets of drywall, or whether it is applied over lathe, it still has to be attached to the studs.

Answer 5

all walls have studes
