Common noggin heights

[AV Elec]

Can someone please explain to me the most likely heights a noggin would be installed at for different vintage houses.

I have a stud finder, that's not what I am looking for.

Would I be correct in saying that most ceilings are at 2400mm height, therefore the noggin is usually 1200mm high?

I'm sure I have seen houses with (2 or more) noggins, perhaps they were older houses?

So from my understanding, older 2400mm walls might have noggins at 800mm spacings, and newer 2400mm walls at 1200mm spacings, or would most walls have them at 1200mm?

Also, timber studs seem to have 450 or 600mm centers. Could you roughly say older houses had 450mm spaced studs, and newer houses 600mm spaced studs or is it random?

I do realise that there won't be a black or white answer as there are many reasons why a particular wall differs from the common measurements. I'm just trying to compile a list of the MOST COMMON scenarios to expect.

Most of my work is commercial, with suspended ceilings and steel walls which don't have noggings obviously.

Usually one row, central (so 1200mm in a 2400 wall), with a max spacing of 1350mm, so in a 2700 or greater wall you will get 2 rows (or more as reqd).
Also, more may be added for such things as hand rails in a bathroom (often at 800mm) etc.

most time the noggin goes on the sheet width as the sheet lays across and not up like commercial stuff. so most noggins are at 1200 centre. they are there to pick up the sheet edge so can be one up one down for ease of nailing.:cool:
ps: if it is 1350 sheet (if ya still get them this wide) they will be 1350 high off the floor
pps i live in a 50yo house and the stud spacing are about 2 feet (600mm) but i dont know how high the nog are.

Thanks people. I think I may have just been unlucky to work on houses where the builder was noggin crazy and put them everywhere!

About roughly 1200mm for a 2400mm ceiling, and sometimes 900mm or 1350mm for a 2700mm ceiling. Cool :U
