I have seen that sometimes with stick-built houses, there is both a sill and another one on top, the studs are then presumably attached to the one on top.
Sometimes you just have one sill and attach the studs directly to it.
Why are there sometimes 2 sills on top of each other?
I have seen that both methods are used, and both were Fiskarhedenvillan (but different house models).

If you are going to frame the floor, it is quite good to have double sole plates so you have something to attach the panel material to on the walls.

But then it's fine to squeeze in a bunch of 45x45's 55cm long between the joists as well. Maybe not simpler and faster, but for exterior walls = less thermal bridging and a bit cheaper, for interior walls not so particularly big advantages.snickarboden said:
I was a bit unclear there, what I'm talking about is when you have a cast slab on the ground.
I think the answers can apply to this case as well. It obviously depends on how much the floors you are planning to lay build up.
If we consider 2mm underlay foam + some thick flooring at say 30 mm, then there won't be much left to hit, of the floor sill, to screw the wall panels into.

Ok, thanks, I will probably mainly have tiles so it probably won't build up much.
But that explains why one of the houses didn't have two 45s on top of each other, but the lower one was probably only half as thick.

I plan to have 45mm insulation and studs inside the load-bearing studs, so then probably no need for a double sill...
