Hello!
I am in the process of plastering a crooked exterior wall in an old modular house to achieve a nicer finish on the surface. The current material is tretex, and the quickest way would be to put the plasterboard directly on top of it. That way, you can screw anywhere. Now the thought has occurred to me that if I do this, I would be making small holes in the vapor barrier. Is this a problem in practice? I don't know 100% where the studs are, and there are no standard CC measurements here.

Are there studs directly behind the tretex? And do you really have a vapor barrier in the wall? Regardless of the vapor barrier, you can screw into it; it affects so little that it isn't noticeable. Regarding the tretex, I find it hard to believe that the screws hold well; have you tried screwing?
Hi, how did TS proceed then?
I have the same problem. Tretex or similar fiberboard and directly behind it is a plastic barrier. The building permit plans state 9 mm board. Mockfjärds elementhus.
My plan is to plaster directly on this or alternatively a thin installation wall... but both puncture the moisture barrier.
