Answer: In some cases
Explanation: Metal Stud Framing - In commercial settings with metal studs spaced 24" on center, vertical installation can align better with stud spacing and reduce waste. - It also minimizes the risk of sagging between studs compared to horizontal on wider spans. Specialty Finishes or Layouts - If you're doing a custom finish (like Plastrum Lime or Tadelakt) and want to control seam placement for aesthetic reasons, vertical installation might help. - It can also be used to align with architectural features like columns or paneling.
