Thread: Common noggin heights

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.
