MathiasS: With a plastered house, there are no studs outside the gypsum – that's why our gypsum boards are screwed every 5 centimeters. It was only the strength of the gypsum board itself that held up when they sprayed the walls.

Didn't think some people use battens on their house ;)
Sure, I understand how you were thinking..... ;)

Masonite? It's only 3.7 mm thick - seems a bit too flimsy to me. It can't withstand moisture - unless you buy ridiculously expensive oil-hardened.
What is masonite good for? During the 1970s, it seems that masonite was installed practically everywhere! I've seen it behind tiles in bathrooms, as "wallpaperable" walls in timber houses, under floorboards in crawl spaces (with earth at the bottom), as flooring in root cellars, and even as capillary-breaking (:o) material under sills. In none of these places did the masonite "survive," and it wasn't oil-hardened. Those who built that way back then haven't changed their opinion on masonite now :o
