I am building new, but with a large part reused materials
It requires some special solutions sometimes though...
Now I have received 90 chipboards that are 340 cm long and 41 cm wide. Their original purpose is unknown. But 125 m2 for free is nice.
So, what might be the best use?
1. Reinforce the floor joist a bit extra and use as flooring chipboard? However, not tongue and groove, as mentioned. But if I place studs/crosspieces so that all edges can be screwed down, it should work, right?
I was thinking of having thicker parquet flooring on top.
I was planning to have underfloor heating too and could possibly cut strips and place them on top of the chipboards to have heating coils in between?
2. Use instead of roof decking? Originally, I planned to use an underlayment fabric between the metal roof and insulation. Even though chipboards aren't the best option, could it work?
3. Build up an installation layer on the inside of the exterior walls and use the boards on the wall and then gypsum?
4. Build interior walls with 45x45 cc 41-ish and use the boards standing (then with gypsum on top). Alternatively, build up cc 60 and mount the boards horizontally?
What do you creative builders with more experience think?

Yes, as mentioned above they are suitable for interior walls, I would have placed them inside the plasterboard... They are not sufficient/suitable for ceilings and floors...
