We had the indoor plasterboards out for about three months. There was an opened bundle and a wrapped unopened bundle, and everything was under a tarp. There were no problems when we then carried it up to the upper floor after the chipboard floor was in place. Didn't have to discard any board!
If indoor gypsum is stored outdoors, the bottom gypsum should be about 1/2 meter above the ground, there should be battens between the boards for ventilation, and it should be covered with a tarp; however, it should not become too airtight...
What a process >
I have plasterboards under a tarp; I didn't follow my own advice, and the boards are very moldy and ready to be discarded...
Actually, gypsum should not be used in bathrooms behind tiles even if you use a waterproofing layer according to the rules, moisture-resistant gypsum is better, but one should prefer minerit vt-board from Tepro, aquapanel from Danogips/Knauf, or masonry walls of brick...
In Finland, insurance companies do not cover moisture damage if you have gypsum in wet rooms; I think we will end up in the same situation in the near future, a year ago there was a ban on using gypsum floors in wet rooms... ???

That statement is not true though...pete_01 said:

Strange, I must say. IF can naturally set whatever requirements they want on insurance work, but PERs/GVKs rules apply to all new production. They do not contain any prohibition against floor gypsum...
Be that as it may... There are many things that will be different in 15 years. Among other things, we will have stopped building houses on beds of styrofoam. :

If a moisture barrier is properly installed, it shouldn't really matter what you have behind it as long as it is well-regulated/stiff and a "dead" material, right? Gypsum, minerit, or something similar.
New ideas came out a year or two ago about not screwing the top sheet of floor gypsum but instead gluing it to the underlying sheet to prevent the screw heads from causing holes in the moisture barrier.
There are also considerations/suggestions to no longer approve liquid moisture barriers that are rolled out; instead, you should use a whole rubber mat or membrane.
Could it be that the industry wants to make it as difficult as possible for DIYers so that we have to outsource the work?

Dusting off this question a bit. We (or rather the house company) have a bunch of leftover indoor plasterboards (47 of them) that have been outside under construction plastic since the end of September. The boards have bent from the weight and are presumably quite damp. They are about 1 dec above the ground. Is it possible to dry them out if we bring them inside and use these boards?Inger.P. said:
We have been offered to buy the boards for 1000kr.
Agreed.
If it turns out to be just junk, you have to both pay for it and also have the honor of trying to get rid of it.
If any disk looks useful, say you can take care of it if you GET a five-hundred note, so they don't have to come and haul it away.
