Interior walls and ceiling in the garage, and painting the floor.

[Björn Saete]

Getting the new house soon with a biiiiig garage that is already insulated + has plastic and battens. For me, there's still electrical, lighting, inner walls, and ceiling to do. Drywall for the ceiling, of course(?), but the walls? Do you use drywall there too? I imagine I will drive a crowbar or a shovel right through the wall the first thing I do, and that it will be hard to hang things up, but maybe I'm thinking wrong? Is it allowed in terms of fire risk to use chipboard instead? Advantages or disadvantages?

Concrete floor - wash thoroughly and then paint with epoxy?

Soon getting the new house with a big garage which is already insulated + plastic and battens. For me, what's left is electricity, lighting, interior walls, and ceiling. Gypsum board on the ceiling of course(?) but the walls? Should gypsum be used there too? I imagine I will pierce a hole or a shovel right through the wall the first thing I do, and that it will be difficult to hang things, but maybe I'm thinking wrong? Is it allowed considering fire risk to use particleboard instead? Pros or cons?

The concrete floor - clean thoroughly and then paint with epoxy?

Disadvantage of particleboard is that it's expensive. If it was done just for function, then form plywood would probably be best.

Soon getting the new house with a big garage which is already insulated + plastic and battens. For me, only the electrical, lighting, interior walls, and ceiling remain. Plasterboard on the ceiling, of course (?) but the walls? Do you use plasterboard there too? I imagine I'll drive a rod or a shovel right through the wall the first thing I do, and it will be hard to hang things up, but maybe I'm thinking wrong? Is it allowed considering fire risk to use chipboard instead? Pros or cons?

How close is the garage to the house or another building?
Here it was explained a bit:

Many put OSB behind the plasterboard, then you can easily screw things onto the walls. It also works well with chipboard, plywood, or tongue and groove behind.
