Has anyone tested Gyproc Habito?
 
I am going to pick up my first records on Monday. It will be exciting to see how they work!

Promise to report back :) How much do they cost?
 
Yes, please report!
 
They worked very well. However, they are extremely heavy, so be prepared for that when you lift them.

It's also impossible to use a regular drywall screw, I bought my boards at Beijer and they had a special screw specifically for these boards—which they were expecting delivery of in a few months (when I bought mine). They recommended a type of hard drywall screw which was completely useless, I got another box the next day, and it worked somewhat.

Also, keep in mind that there's a lot of fiberglass in the boards. Much harder to cut compared to regular drywall, and it's absolutely impossible to saw them with a machine, not even at low speed. I didn't do it myself, but I would probably recommend using a respirator when breaking the boards. It smells awful when you're using a hole saw, etc.

In terms of strength, they seem great. I have two layers of drywall, the innermost regular drywall and a layer of Habito on top. I’ve nailed (!) pictures to the wall.

There seems to be a similar variant available now that costs much less.
