Hello!
I want to close off a doorway in a partition wall in my (new) 60s house. I thought it was gypsum on studs, but of course it isn't; it's some fiberboard about 10 mm thick on 45 mm wooden studs, and several layers of wallpaper. Is it possible to say what type of board it is?

The doorway is about 120 cm, and I'm considering building it up the same way, or alternatively putting drywall on one side of the wall (on top of the fiberboard) or even on both sides for sound insulation.

Do you have any advice?
 
  • Close-up of a wooden stud wall with an exposed cross-section, showing a measuring tape indicating width and construction details.
  • Close-up of a cross-section of a 10 mm thick fiberboard with 45 mm wood studs behind it, showing texture and details of the wall material.
