Hello!
I will be renovating my apartment in a building from the late 1930s.
Problem: A new kitchen (tiles, and countertop and wall cabinets) will be installed on a so-called Kloasongvägg (reed and wire on a frame of planks covered with plaster). There is also quite a large gap between the plaster and the planks in my apartment (I estimate about 50-70mm).
Question 1: If I do not want to tear down and erect a new wall, how can I ensure that the wall can support the kitchen (think wall cabinets full of porcelain...)?
Question 2: Is it possible/a good idea to remove plaster and reed, preserve the plank frame, and then attach plywood and drywall directly to the plank frame (alternatively: remove plaster and reed, preserve the plank frame, and then erect a new wall outside the plank frame)?
I would appreciate answers and recommendations!
I would also like recommendations regarding material choice for the wall if I remove plaster and reed down to the plank frame, as well as which screws/plugs I should use if I leave the wall untouched.
(The picture is of another wall during demolition. The wall in question is still untouched.)
