OSB or Chipboard behind gypsum?

[empame]

Chipboard is somewhat cheaper but are there any disadvantages to choosing it over OSB?
There are also those who recommend fiber-reinforced plasterboard without any wood board behind it...
What do you choose in a newly built house?

 

[norrbottenstorpet]

One chooses OSB or plyfa, not particleboard.

 

[Elkludde]

Or råspont

 

[empame]

So why not shavings? The carpenter recommended shavings as it would be the cheapest and best.

 

[isolde]

The carpenter must be quite alone in the opinion that particle board is preferable.
Take a screwdriver, and tighten a couple of screws, in particle board, respectively OSB. A light bulb will go off, you'll see.

Everything works and has its advantages and disadvantages. Particleboard also works but has the least strength in tensile testing (compared to OSB and plywood). There are several threads on this particular discussion. http://www.byggahus.se/forum/byggma...744-osb-eller-plywood-bakom-gips.html?showAll

As mentioned, this has been discussed many times before and often tends to devolve into something resembling a religious war. Some, perhaps through traumatic experiences in childhood?, have built up a strong aversion to particleboard. An aversion that often takes the form of vilifying everything and everyone who dares to mention the words "particleboard" and "wall" in the same sentence.

If one looks at the facts and disregards opinions, it has been tested and established (I have seen a link in a previous thread) that particleboard is slightly weaker than OSB but still perfectly adequate for hanging kitchens, TVs, or Mona Lisa copies on.

Personally, I have used both, both in construction and for mounting things on, and have not noticed any significant difference.

I have only painted particle boards on the walls and have hung up heavy items without problems.

 

[MathiasS]

Exactly.

Rather than questioning those who install anything other than plywood, perhaps one should question the competence of those who can't manage to hang a TV or kitchen cabinets on a particleboard/OSB wall without having things fall down.

Probably some have, perhaps through traumatic experiences in childhood?, developed a strong aversion to chipboard. An aversion that often manifests in the slandering of everything and everyone who even dares to mention the words "chipboard" and "wall" in the same sentence.

For some reason, I think your psychological analysis hints at much worse traumatic childhood experiences than those who hate chipboard .

If you look at the facts and ignore opinions, it is tested and established (I have seen a link in a previous thread) that chipboard is slightly weaker than OSB but still perfectly fine to hang kitchen units, TVs, or Mona Lisa copies on.

I've never had a problem with chipboard myself and have it previously in many places in the house. What is usually recommended is to pre-drill in chipboard because there is a greater risk that a "plug" will come off on the back of the board when driving a through screw. This happens less often (never?) with OSB.

 

[MMR]

Most people probably agree that OSB is better than chipboard and that plywood is better than OSB when it comes to stability and tensile strength. Then, of course, a legitimate debate can be had over whether chipboard is worthless or not. If you just look at Byggmax (which is fast and easy for checking prices), the difference is about 20 kronor in price. If you're buying 100 sheets for a new build, it's a matter of 2000 kronor more or less, so I would choose OSB.

 

[norrbottenstorpet]

Just as MMR writes, however, there is a difference in Byggmax prices 84 kr up to plyfa from OSB, so with the same calculation comparison 100 plyfa costs 8400 kr more than the OSB alternative.

I recently framed walls and installed OSB. It will probably be a few sheets of plyfa on selected parts in a bathroom for extra stability.

 

[TheGame]

I usually always take OSB.
I have taken Plyfa at some places where I hung up cabinets to store lots of tools and paint cans.

I've just gone with my gut feeling, but as I said, regular particle board probably works fine too.
