Can I remove the cracked panel on my plank house?

[Kalle_odenplan]

Hello
I have a house from the 1930s. The house is built with standing planks. The facade/walls are constructed as follows.
From the outside: Plaster, reed mat and mesh, lath panel, paper, and standing planks.

I am halfway through a replastering and additional insulation with the Serporoc system. The plan is to remove everything up to the plank wall, including the lath panel. Now it occurs to me that the lath panel might be needed to support the plank wall!?

So the question is: Is the lath panel necessary for the wall's stability?

(I want to remove the lath panel so the wall doesn't become too thick after the insulation.)

Grateful for a response before my home collapses.

Kalle,

Did you get any answer to this question? Did you proceed with the re-plastering?
I am in the same situation and haven't found anyone who can answer.

From the outside: Plaster, reed mat and mesh, spräckpanel, paper and standing plank.

I am halfway through a re-plastering and additional insulation with the Serporoc system. The plan is to remove everything to the plank wall. So the spräckpanel as well. Now it hits me that the spräckpanel might be needed to support the plank wall!?

So the question is. Is the spräckpanel needed for the wall's stability?

No, it is not needed.
It is for the old plaster.

Hi Carl

I removed the spräck panel and replastered my house. No unpleasant surprises have appeared. The plank wall (vertical) really shouldn't move, as the planks are toe-nailed together. I considered reinforcing the wall with diagonal nail plates, but I never got around to doing this.

Good luck.
