Fine tuning my IWI Solid wall (Warm Batten) design

[lookseehear]

I hadn't heard of gypframe and just looked it up. What do you do if you need a strong wall fixing? The appeal of timber battens is that you can at least screw into it if you need to.

Typically you would pattress out areas of wall that are going to have fixtures prior to plaster boarding

I'm trying to get my head around is how/will the stud work keep and maintain to keep the insulation against and in full contact with the wall.

Provided you use semi-flexible insulation batts you cut them a little oversize and compress them a little, so that they push gently against each other from floor to ceiling and wall to wall, holding each other in place when supported by the studwork...

Just found a pair of images to illustrate the above. This is hemp insulation on a wall about 1m wide x 2.6m high, self-supporting (left) before I put the studs in place (right). The batts here are 100mm thick, but the lowest (out of shot) was sawn through to about half that as the wall behind was out of plumb.
