In discussions with Myresjöhus about a potential build, as they have a plot we're interested in.
What I'm questioning is their construction of the exterior wall:
Firstly, it only has 250 mm of insulation, but the worst part is that it lacks an installation zone. The plastic is right against the gypsum board, which means that every screw and nail used to put things up on the walls creates holes in the building envelope. Additionally, only single gypsum board.
Any thoughts or experiences with this?
Has anyone who built with Myresjöhus managed to get a different construction, or are you stuck with this one? I would have preferred 220 + 45 mm along with OSB and gypsum.
Have built many houses without an installation wall for another house supplier, with similar wall construction in terms of structure and insulation thickness. I agree it feels worse; if I had ordered, I would have added OSB to all the exterior walls, it makes it feel and result in better outcome.
Very few customers reflect on it, and the only time it's bothersome is when something needs to be put up; otherwise, it's not something you think about.
We have just signed to build a larger version of Smart 168 in the Norrköping area. According to our seller, OSB boards are included on the inside of all exterior walls under the gypsum board. However, they are not included in the interior walls, where there is only gypsum board. It is, of course, possible to add OSB boards to all interior walls if desired, but for cost reasons, we have chosen to refrain.

Was it a noticeable addition for OSB in the interior walls, in other words?
Was it a noticeable addition for OSB in the interior walls in other words?
In our case, it was about an extra 30-40 thousand, which isn't much in the grand scheme. But to minimize costs, it was one of several options we chose not to add, in favor of another option we valued higher and definitely preferred to spend money on.
It ended up being a Myresjöhus in the end. We are choosing particleboard behind the drywall on all the walls. It makes a big difference for the sound as well, so we think it's worth it. It's great that it's standard to have a wooden board behind the drywall on the exterior walls, their catalog doesn't show that. We'll have to use extremely short screws in the exterior walls later so we don't puncture the plastic with each screw since there is no space between the wall boards and the plastic.

Has anyone who has built with Myresjöhus managed to get another construction, or are you locked to this one? I would have preferred 220 + 45 mm and OSB and gypsum.
Piercing the vapor barrier is one thing, is it just a single layer of 250mm insulation?
It ended up being Myresjöhus in the end after all. We are opting for chipboard behind the plasterboard in all the walls. It does quite a bit for the sound too, so I think it's worth it. It's good that it's standard to have a wood board behind the plaster in the outer wall then, their catalog doesn't show that. Will have to use extremely short screws in the outer walls later so as not to punctuate the plastic with each screw since there is no space between the wall boards and the plastic.
Nothing to worry about in the end since there are so many houses where the plastic is punctured and according to today's standards "incorrectly" set.
People need to stop being so paranoid
We have just signed up to build a larger version of Smart 168 in the Norrköping area. According to what our salesperson has stated, OSB boards are included on the inside of all exterior walls under the plasterboard. However, this is not the case for interior walls where there are only plasterboards. It is of course possible to add OSB boards to all interior walls if you want to, but for cost reasons, we have chosen to refrain.
It is not OSB behind the plasterboard in the exterior walls in Myresjöhus, they use their so-called "hard plasterboard" it turns out, and according to the salesperson, only 1% of customers choose to add OSB to the exterior wall. The cost is 600 SEK per meter for OSB in exterior walls. We will probably add it for a total of 97k SEK in our case. Rip-off price. So we have paid a total of 150k SEK extra to get OSB in all walls, completely crazy.

Yes, that sounded a bit hefty, I calculate that putting up OSB takes about 2-3 times the labor compared to putting up plaster, and then OSB is more expensive than regular plaster...

Partly it is only 250 mm insulation, but worst of all is that it lacks an installation zone. The plastic is directly against the drywall, which means that every screw and nail used to mount things on the walls creates holes in the climate barrier. Also, only single drywall.
Any comments on, or experiences with this?
Has anyone who has built with Myresjöhus managed to get a different construction, or are you stuck with this one? I would have preferred 220 + 45 mm and OSB and drywall.
Do you/anyone know if their wall is still built the same way today?
