Light rule

[IFK]

Hello!

What is lättregel and what are the advantages/disadvantages of this type of rule compared to a regular rule?

Plus:
Easy to work with, lightweight, only requires a metal shear
No thermal bridges
Also provides sound insulation behind the stud if screwed to the floor, for example, as the backside has foam rubber.
Doesn't mold...

Minus:
Expensive compared to wood
30-50 cm waste on each stud
you cut yourself all the d**n time because you always put down the gloves,
insulation not adapted to the width.

Thank you!

Brilliant answer.

If you have craftsmen doing the work, you also avoid cutting yourself...

But if you have drywall on the inside of these light studs, won't it be problematic when you want to put things up? I mean, either you put the screw in a drywall and risk the thing falling down, or you put the screw in the light stud which might make it a bit difficult to screw in? I might seem very unversed in everything related to construction, but that's okay because it's quite accurate...

There are light studs that are not made of metal...

But I haven't worked with them, so I don't know if they are good or bad.

But if you have plasterboard on the inside of these light frames, won't there be problems when you want to hang things? I mean, either you put the screw in a plasterboard and risk the item falling down, or you put the screw in the light frame, which makes it a bit difficult to get the screw in? Now, I might come across as not very knowledgeable about construction, but that's okay because it's quite true...

What you do then is to ignore the plasterboard and instead put up something called fibergips.

If only the price of this board is reasonable, I will use this instead of OSB+plasterboard in wet rooms and basements.

This board also withstands moisture significantly better than plasterboard (and OSB).
