I am building a wall construction 195+95. The outer 195 studs are upright. How should I mount the inner ones to make it as simple as possible? Considering thermal bridging, I understand that one should offset the inner ones and build them upright as well. But I think that's less important. The difference is likely negligible on that wall. The question is what will be easiest both during the installation of the studs and subsequent installations? Ceiling height varies from 215cm to 360cm.
If I had 45mm, it would have absolutely felt best to install them horizontally, as there will be many fastenings to stabilize a slender stud. It's also easy to shoot straight through such a thin one. My 95s are a bit more stable, so full height upright might be less of a problem, but above all, a bit harder to fasten due to the thickness.
How do those of you who build more than once do it?

To achieve sufficient insulation. 70mm could have worked as well, but we had already decided on it. Didn't have much to spare to achieve the approved U-value, which was a requirement in the building permit. Have relatively large windows.Jonatan79 said:
A bit late to change the walls now, exterior walls and panel are in place.Complicated measurement. Better to go with 220+70 instead. I would go with 95laying down depending on the type of insulation and wall cladding you plan to have!?
I guess you intend to have the plastic inside the 95 rule. From what I understand, the plastic is almost too far in then. Someone else here probably knows this better.
I would have used double 45 instead.
