Quality difference in plasterboards

[Henke]

Is there any quality difference between the different brands or are they equivalent? How are the boards from Byggmax? All opinions are welcome

harder to get a good joint between Byggmax boards

+ that the last 10 I bought did not have the same quality as the 50 I bought a year ago

they creak more and sound like they're breaking when you carry them...

but they are cheap

There is a difference in quality even between drywall panels. BuildingMax gypsum boards come directly from the manufacturer - i.e., fresh. They have, in other words, a higher moisture content.

If you have råspont or OSB behind, I think you can use the cheaper variant.

Cheap? I pay less for my danogips boards than what byggmax charges for theirs....  8)

Edit: No, actually, I pay 5 öre more. Ok, byggmax sells "cheap" boards.

Saw that Silvan had good prices on danogips. Actually cheaper than Byggmax.

Tips: Make a calculation on how much is needed.
Then get quotes from "everyone".
In my case, Beijer bygg was the cheapest.

For some reason, they didn't end up being the final choice anyway. I can't remember who it ended up being, it was a lot of buying for a while.

The drywall we bought is Norgips. It's completely OK. We have Norgips in both walls and floors.

Have used both Byggmax and other "brand" drywall and haven't noticed any difference between them.

Oh, really. If you go by the list price, they are usually the most expensive. Apparently, it's worth checking the prices carefully.
