Frame up a 45mm wall with insulation
Hello.
We have added exterior insulation to our house and we are also considering insulating the exterior walls from the inside with 45mm insulation, applying OSB + drywall on the outside.
The standard is cc60, but it feels a bit flimsy if you use 45 studs. It is usually 70 studs for interior walls. My thought was to use 70 studs placed crosswise to achieve the thickness of 45mm, but I wonder if it's okay to use 45x45 as ceiling and floor joists?
Or can I use 45x45 all the way and use cc45?
Best regards,
Peter
