Wall Construction and Method of Providing a Wall Construction

Abstract

A wall construction (10) comprising a wooden stud (14), a wall panel (12) with a predetermined thickness (T), and a fastener (20) in the form of a nail or a staple with a pre¬determined length (Ls) is described. The stud (14) comprises a flat mounting surface (16) and at least one continuous recess (18), arranged in parallel with and at a predetermined distance (D) from said mounting surface (16), and exhibiting, in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface (16), a predetermined width (B). The wall panel (12) is attached to the mounting surface (16), and fastened to the wooden stud (14) by the fastener (20) being driven through the wall panel (12) and into the wooden stud (14) to a depth which is greater than the sum of said predetermined thickness (T) and said predetermined distance (D), and less than the sum of said predetermined thickness (T), said predetermined distance (D) and said predetermined width (B). A method for forming such a wall construction (10) is also described.
