Strammit

[ChrispyUK]

Ok, so may have a job doing a bathroom refurb and customer mentioned straw walls which suggests Stramit. House late 80’s, so from what I know, this kind of confirms the likelihood.

From what I can gather, there is no studwork with these walls, just the stramit butted up to each other to create whatever length wall. I think there is usually a sole and head timber fitted.

Anybody any experience with this?

Stramit board was used on party walls. We floated and skimmed the walls. It was fitted on a timber on the base with another on the ceiling. 60s building method in Suffolk.
I have screeded Stramit board on flat roof buildings.

Thanks malc. Am I correct in there’s no vertical studs? Did it come later on with Pb bonded to it, or is that done after it’s fitted?

No vertical studs. I have never seen it dry lined, only float and set.

Thanks. So do they build the walls up with the stramit then just dab boards bearing in mind this is a slightly newer house?

Don’t think so. Wish it was paramount tbf, as at least it’s prob easier to deal with.
I did do a search on here and there’s a similar thread, and someone seems to think it’s good for taking fixings. Dunno!

I did a quick search and it seems that there are different thicknesses for different systems. Some as thick as 60mm, some just like standard board.
