OSB or plywood behind drywall?
OSB!! Then the electrician will be happy. 
On all the constructions I've been on (except budget builds with simple drywall), the carpenters have used OSB. Skanska uses OSB, and the construction company I fix the electricity for also uses OSB behind the drywall.
Plyfa is so hard that the screws almost break?

No gap is needed with råspont during installation as it provides some movement allowance when it dries properly. Additionally, it is the best to screw into, and it doesn't crack any plaster. Råspont can be continuously installed when it comes to interior walls that are plastered, with almost zero waste, it's the best there is.Snailman said:
Sure, but as you've seen in the link above, the particleboard can handle 258kg in vertical load and 124kg in tensile load. It's not clear from the Beijer link, but this has been measured by filling a metal cabinet hung up with weights, i.e., a particularly practical test that reflects reality.SBH said:

Well, I have at least six carpenters and a home manufacturer in my circle of friends who refuse OSB. Three of the carpenters assemble houses on a continuous basis. It's solely about quality assurance.SBH said:

I will ask them again if you are really interested in an answer. Two of these carpenters themselves installed chipboard behind the plasterboard in the walls of their newly built houses. They used OSB as flooring.SBH said:
As I said; the disadvantage of chipboard is that a screw hole should be pre-drilled if it is to have the same strength or better than OSB.
why didn't they use glue-free raw planking in their own houses?Johan Gunverth said:I will ask them again if you are truly interested in an answer. Two of these carpenters themselves installed chipboard behind the gypsum in the walls of their own newly built houses. They used OSB as floor covering.

Beijer Bygg's accounting is (just like before) a bit "interesting" considering they use chipboards at 1198mm to maintain 1200c/c with a 2mm gap, as a requirement. Where can one find these boards with the odd measurement?
Why does the manufacturer ByggElit state in their installation instructions that one MUST place the (1200-)boards flush against each other and that the short joints should be glued? Are the chipboards for wall mounting that Beijer writes about at all?
