New interior walls
If you only have plaster and want to hang something simple like a small picture or photo frame, you need to bring out the drill and plug right away. Moreover, it creates incredibly ugly holes if you want to change something later.
Easy with OSB or chipboard where a discreet little nail is enough, which barely leaves marks behind.

When I have installed the first layer of OSB boards and then need to install drywall on top of it, do I have to attach the drywall to the studs as well, or can I screw them into the OSB boards without considering the location of the studs?

It's a fun argument anyway!vectrex said:
The feeling.
How many people in the room do you think notice any difference?
And get to enjoy that feeling.
Note I'm not saying it's wrong.
Just that it's overkill nine times out of ten.
OT:
It's a bit strange.
When it comes to discussions about building rental apartments, it's always too expensive due to all the regulations and requirements.
But when we build for ourselves, there are no limits. We'll gladly add an extra layer because it's good for "the feeling."
Hope I wasn't too harsh now
I myself have 18 mm wood panels on the interior walls, no plasterboard.
But no noisy teenagers at home either, of course.
No, it's enough for the screw to secure into the OSB. The exception is wet areas where the screw should also go into the stud, but there you should have plywood behind the wet area drywall (according to säker vatten).Anna1984 said:

When fastening the standing studs to the floor and ceiling studs, do you need to use angle brackets, or is it sufficient to drive screws through the standing stud into the floor and ceiling stud respectively?
Amateur tipAnna1984 said:
If you have angle irons, use them.
Otherwise, you can cut a small piece of the stud to use as a stop and screw the vertical stud into it.
Or screw diagonally from both sides.
I would have installed noggings as well, i.e., horizontal studs between the vertical ones.
(at the same heights as insulation panels)
What function do the noggings serve? Isn't it stable enough without them or?D09 said:Amateur tips

Wouldn't it be appropriate to place a horizontal beam against the floor/floor joists and similarly against the ceiling joists, which you then secure the standing studs to?Anna1984 said:
For example, a metal channel.
The wall panels should probably be attached to something on the short sides as well, and if the standing studs are placed directly between the floor and ceiling, there will be fewer attachment points.
