Since Aug this year, all bathrooms that has a wooden construction...
Lip board or other non plasterboard must be used (plasterboard is forbidden)

then this must be put on the lip board & the floor.
You mix a special compound (like glue) to put this up......

then you can tile the bathroom.

It's getting so crazy over here in Sweden with thier bathrooms, the rules are changing all the time and it's getting more expensive for people to renovate their bathrooms.
But now we have this rot avdrag..............the customer only pays 50% of the work cost and the tax office pays the other 50%....
So all those jobs under the table are gone !...........

Wow, thats amazing , all the pipework with joints has to have a panel.so at a shower head or valve you literally have a couple of access panels right in front of you while showering ?
ha e you any pictures of these mate, imstruggling to get my tiny brain around this ?
Does the same apply all around a house, every pipe joint you have to have access too? Im really curious as in britain there would literally be a panel on every wall and ceiling snd floor in every room as pipe joints are everywhere .
Houses in Sweden must look weird !
No. Shower valves do not have joints inside walls. The pipe comes out through the wall, has a tanking collar round it, and the shower valve is attached to the pipes externally. If the joint leaks then it leaks into the shower and not inside the wall. It's literally as simple as that.

Pipes are two types: if MLCP then pipe in pipe with no joints, except at the manifold cupboard. If a pipe got punctured by a screw you could pull out the pipe and install a new one with zero disruption or ripping out.

If copper then they are PVC clad half-hard copper on coils (up to 50m). We have them in 12mm in the U.K. for use for oil supplies to boilers etc. They have them in 15mm size to feed showers, sinks etc. If a copper pipe got punctured in service then it would require ripping out. Copper is used in solid substrates, pipe in pipe for stud.

Video shows full system and installation. Been out since 2009. Similar systems have been around in North America for at least seven or eight years too.
