Drywall on installation layer
Got the suggestion from Lundqvist (the manufacturer of the house modules) to put OSB on the studs (cc 1200) and then screw drywall onto it. However, it feels like it would be unstable? So I'm leaning more towards the above suggestion to add an extra 45x70 in each bay and attach drywall to that. Handling 2.7x1.2 drywall does seem like a challenge though.
Yes, the idea was probably to lay the OSBn horizontally, but then you would need a drywall screw that is a maximum of 13+11=24mm long to not risk going through the plastic? There are 25mm screws, but you want to drive the head in a few mm, so it feels a bit off? Or am I thinking wrong?richardtenggren said:
So the saga continues! After some contact with the house manufacturer who suggested OSB on the 1200-studs, I looked through the quote a bit more carefully and realized that they actually install extra vertical studs so you get cc 600 on the vertical studs, which is perfect.
Now it turns out when I got access to the assembly instructions (even though I won't be assembling the wall blocks myself) that you have to screw up 11mm OSB on all the exterior walls for the house to be stable enough according to the current rules/requirements, so it will have to be OSB anyway...
If you use 900-gypsum and screw with 25mm screws, is there a risk of making holes in the plastic behind? They are likely to stick out about 2-3mm. (Where it fits, you can of course drive in 30mm screws into the studs)

I had bought 120cm plaster and offset the joints against the OSB and screwed into the studs (as you actually should) but it really doesn't matter if you screw through the plastic, otherwise you would never be able to screw anything onto the walls.
