Sitting and doing some calculations before the construction and started wondering about drywall sizes. Is it still 1200 width and cc 600 for walls (and also for ceilings)? Or do you use this on exterior walls and then 900 drywall on interior walls?
All the walls in the construction will have double boards, i.e. drywall + tongue and groove or drywall + OSB.

The only thing I imagine determines the choice is whether one considers themselves up to working with 1200 tiles or not. The cheapskate and slacker probably reckon that there will be more seam filling and stud nailing (or more metal studs) if one chooses 900.
What about wet rooms with the new rules? If you're going to use those new wobbly boards, it's not likely to work well with cc600? Should you frame cc30 or cc40 and with double boards (they're sooo cheap too...)?
if I'm not completely wrong, the new rules won't take effect until 1/6, so I would (and have) done as before. 13mm double plasterboard on cc60, or like with a washbasin or similar plasterboard+OSB.
Just make sure to flow generously with "guckan".
this is just my 2 cents though...

Although I won't be so far along in the process that I can take advantage of the old rules. However, I agree that the old way was good. It would be best if I could use råspont + a new approved board on cc600, but that's not approved after 1/6.
One would think that a rule must be established that clearly states what should apply and that it truly functions. If you start hanging some shower equipment and such in the new boards without anything sturdy behind them, there will likely be many problems in showers going forward.

I'm not an expert on all the rules coming this summer, but before it was just double plasterboard or OSB/tongue and groove/plywood etc. etc. + plasterboard that applied.
And now with the new rules, it's just the new plasterboard (regardless of double plasterboard or something else behind) that must be used... or??

Apply a layer of OSB throughout the entire bathroom + noggins at the vanity, mirror, and other places where heavier items will be hung, or alternatively, apply a layer of plywood first and then the new boards.
Yes, that's exactly how I want to do it, the question is whether it's approved according to the new rules...SnickareEk said:
The strange thing is when the retailer says it's ok to have plywood behind the new boards. It feels very misleading in that case.Richard A said:
I quickly read through Jon h's comments.
It says here:
"All organic material must be behind the plastic, from the inside."
Does that mean you can put the plastic inside the organic OSB board? The plastic is really just supposed to prevent moisture from moving. Moisture is in the framework even if you put plastic, or am I completely wrong?
I would also like to have something solid behind the drywall to mount things on behind the tiles.
