The figures come from SP's test, and it is Byggelit that ordered the testing from SP.Johan Gunverth said:Beijer Bygg's accounting is (just like before) a bit "interesting" considering that they use chipboards measuring 1198mm to be able to maintain 1200c/c with a 2mm gap, as a requirement. Where can one get these boards with that odd measurement? Why does the manufacturer ByggElit state in their installation instructions that the (1200-)boards MUST be placed flush against each other and that one should glue the short joints? Are these even chipboards for wall mounting that Beijer is writing about?

All carpenters are recognized as skilled. Have been in the industry for at least 20 years. The house manufacturer is a locally recognized high-quality contractor. Do you want to continue arguing?SBH said:
As a temporary floor during construction. Floor protection or between floor joists while the house is being assembled. Then the junk is thrown away.
In fact, none of the aforementioned materials are needed to make the wall strong and/or soundproof....metal studs and double plasterboard will make it both quiet, straight and without any potential creaks....

Ah! It's the Stabil boards and not the regular wall board. I felt these and they felt more like OSB, a bit flimsy. More expensive too. The question is if they aren't made with the same kind of glue as OSB. Couldn't be glued either. The regular wall boards are harder too.MathiasS said:
Has anyone found use for their various materials behind the plaster? I mean do you hang a lot on the walls? Except in the kitchen and bathroom of course. Is it worth the work or wouldn't it have been just as good with double plasterboard?
