Installing drywall on walls

Oh, I see,

I learned in the drywall course that wood is completely unsuitable because it can warp.
Standards and empirical values sometimes differ here and there.
I have been installing battens vertically successfully for 18 years.
For the 30 cm, there was at least one batten placed in front to be somewhat suitable for DIY purposes, so that with a 25 cm spacing you don't have to screw in even more battens.

No, seriously. I have no problem if someone corrects me or my views. And with a professional statement, you are certainly always on the right side. But a forum is meant for exchanging experience and opinions, and that's what I contributed to.

And now I hand it back to the topic.

That's why I also wrote I don't want to step on your toes.

I have another question about the vapor barrier or retarder. Since I am not installing insulation between the drywall and the exterior wall, do I need a vapor barrier or retarder there now? The exterior wall is made of brick. If I have seen it correctly, it is a kind of cavity wall (brick - cavity - brick). Best regards Maik

Hello @Maiks,

sorry, I'm new here in the forum ... and have read your still unanswered question.

Have you been able to solve the problem in the meantime?

Best regards

Hello @Winkli,

the price for the insulation material and the GK boards is only the tip of the iceberg.

In particular, work on the thermal envelope should be properly planned and executed, otherwise, it would probably not only be a waste of the money spent on it but also, potentially, a loss to the building fabric.

Best wishes for the new year
