Is spacing needed for boards on the wall

[evoline]

Hello,
When building a wall and you have framed it and are about to screw on wooden boards and plasterboards, I have a few questions:

1. Is a gap needed from the floor to the wooden board, or can it rest on the floor?
When laying flooring, there is a gap to the wall, wondering if it's the same here.
The house's parquet floor has not been laid yet, just a concrete slab currently.

2. Do the plasterboards need to overlap the wooden boards and also be attached to the wooden studs, or is it enough for them to be fastened to the wood?

/Construction company building the house but could help to cut costs.
The wooden boards are already in the house, though I don't know if it is OSB, plywood, or particle board.

Thanks in advance

for movements that are always present in the house. wood or concrete. so there is a gap.

good with overlapping.

what do the wooden boards look like?

It's enough to screw the plaster into the panels!

I have googled now and it is not plywood or chipboard, but it is OSB boards.

Question 3.
Should there be a gap between the wooden boards on the long sides, when placed next to each other?

Thanks in advance

In indoor environments, it shouldn't be necessary. If you have them outdoors, you should have a 3 mm gap between the boards. Having a few mm probably wouldn't hurt. on OSB though!

Hello,
So no spacing is needed, and I just need to put up the plasterboards without screwing them onto the studs, is that correct?

Thanks in advance

The measurements of the boards are made to allow for a gap. 897mm wide for cc 450 between the studs.

A simple way to get a small gap on the long side is to place a nail at the top and bottom right at the edge of the first OSB board, press the next board against the nail, screw the board in place, then move the nail to the next edge.

If you start in a corner with a whole sheet of OSB and then when you apply drywall, you start in the same corner with half a sheet of drywall. This way, you get an overlap with half a sheet and also an easier plastering job in the corners.

Ok, so there should be gaps, is that correct?
And overlapping of drywall on OSB, but no need to screw the drywall into the studs, just onto the wood boards, is that correct?

Thanks in advance

A tip! (If you are going to lay large areas of parquet later). Leave both the osbn and the gypsum board 25mm from the floor, so the floor has more room for movement, and you won't need a thick skirting board

Ok, it should therefore be a gap, is that correct?
And overlap the plasterboards over the OSB, but there is no need to screw the plasterboards into the frame, only into the wood boards, is that correct?

Thanks in advance

if you put the wood board before the plaster. then you want a gap.
plaster you set tight against each other
