New interior walls

[Anna1984]

As you may have read in the previous thread, when I move, I will set up new walls on the upstairs, which is unfinished.

I have some thoughts on how to do this but would like to hear your opinions.

What I was thinking is to use a layer of chipboard and a layer of plaster on each side of the wall. This is to make it easier to attach things to the wall. Advantages/disadvantages of chipboard and plaster, instead of two layers of plaster?

Then I thought of using wooden studs, instead of metal studs. Cheaper and easier to cut, I thought. What are your opinions on wooden studs instead of metal?

Grateful for your opinions.

You can use OSB instead of chipboard. Often cheaper and holds up well (better than chipboard?) with regular wood screws.

Having a board under the plasterboard is nice; double plasterboard probably dampens sound best but is hardly the best from a fixation point of view.
I would have gone with OSB under the plasterboard.

 

[Anna1984]

Sounds good. Then it will be OSB and gypsum board

How about the wooden stud, does it work well or does it have to be a metal stud?

If I go with OSB and gypsum board on each side, what dimension should the wooden studs be in order to get a good fit with the door frames (so that I don't build too thick)?
I'm also thinking of having insulation in the walls.

Anyone know?

There are different widths.
gypsum + OSB x2 + 70mm stud is suitable for 118mm.

 

[Anna1984]

There are different widths. drywall + OSB x2 + 70mm stud is suitable for 118mm.

Are there door frames in different widths? Is 118mm the most common? Like the ones they have at Bauhaus?

I will put OSB on both sides and drywall on both sides. So it will be stud+four layers. Is a 70mm stud the right choice then?

 

[vectrex]

70 rule is probably the most common. 45 becomes too weak (in my opinion, but it does hold) and 90 unnecessarily steals space!

 

[Anna1984]

70x45 then or?

If one is to be a bit rational and economical...

How often do you hang such heavy items on bedroom walls that a drywall isn't enough?
How soundproof does a single-family home need to be? Typically, you have interior doors that barely dampen sound, and ventilation gaps as well.

Having double drywall, or OSB/particleboard/plywood + drywall might be a bit overkill at home.

Then there are the simple door frames at 95 mm.
It fits perfectly with a 70 mm stud + 2x13 mm drywall = 96 mm.
No need for extensions and complexities.

This will be cheap and effective.
If you don't require hotel standards.

You can go with either. I think wood is a bit more fun to work with and a bit more "forgiving" (you can hammer and carve a bit if it's not perfect). Then metal is probably a bit faster once you get the hang of it and if the length of the studs matches the ceiling height. Metal is lighter, so less carrying, but the feel of wood is much nicer

If you want to be a little rational and economical...

How often do you hang such heavy things on bedroom walls that a single drywall isn't enough?
How soundproof does a single-family home really need to be? Most of the time, you have interior doors that don't block sound at all, and ventilation slots as well.

Having double drywall, or OSB/chipboard/plywood + drywall, can be a bit overkill at home.

Then the simple door frames are 95 mm.
It fits perfectly with a 70 mm stud + 2x13 mm drywall = 96 mm.

I thought that's how construction was done nowadays. So you think single drywall on each side is enough?

I will put OSB on both sides and plasterboard on both sides. So that's stud+four layers. Is it a 70mm stud that's appropriate then?

Recommend OSB behind the plasterboard.

This way, you don't have to worry about where, how, weights, plugs, and studs when you want to hang things later.

Did this throughout the whole house and don't regret for a second that I chose it

 

[Mattias_Jo1]

Ditto. Thumbs up

 

[vectrex]

Even if you might not be hanging much stuff on the walls, I think it's worth having OSB behind the drywall just for the feeling! Feels much more solid!
