Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nogging is a horizontal timber member that is fixed between the vertical studs of a timber stud partition. Its main purpose is to stiffen the studs in their length, preventing them from buckling or twisting under load. Noggings do not connect the studs to the floor, ceiling, or external wall, nor do they provide spacing between the studs.
