OSB or chipboard?

[ByggaNytt]

You bet!


Now, I did have Plyfa, which in my opinion is even better, but for cost reasons, I went with OSB behind the plasterboard!

I only installed OSB on the inside of a cold storage. During the installation of wall shelves, some screws lost their grip in the boards, which I haven't experienced with chipboard. I've used chipboard and plaster in a couple of rooms and attached heavily loaded shelf systems without problems. So I probably prefer 13mm chipboard behind plaster.

Yes, indeed!
...Although I had Plyfa, which in my opinion is even better, but for cost reasons I used OSB behind the plasterboard!

How is it supposed to be? Did you have Plyfa or OSB?
Just like you, I used OSB as walkways.

How shall you have it? Did you have plywood or OSB?
Just like you, I used OSB as walkways.

I assume bygganytt used plywood as a temporary floor on the joists, but couldn't afford to use plywood in every wall, so there it became OSB instead...

Exactly!
When I got the invoice for the plywood, it turned into OSB instead

Today, I would have used plywood everywhere, that extra cost would have saved me many splinters in my fingers!

There's a devilish difference when screwing into OSB and plywood if you're using slightly thicker screws such as for radiators or Elfa systems. Plywood is like screwing into wood, whereas with OSB, you have to be careful as it's easy to strip the hole. I ditched OSB and used plywood where I planned to do some screwing, and regular particle board or double drywall where I didn't intend to put anything on the wall.

Behind kitchen cabinets, I would have undoubtedly placed plywood + drywall.

Also considering OSB/chipboard/plywood. Building the outer shell in concrete and polystyrene, i.e., completely inert materials (which I appreciate after this wet winter).

Someone mentioned that OSB has greater movement. How about chipboard and plywood?
I, who am building with completely inert materials, am obviously wondering if there is any completely inorganic panel material that replaces OSB (also the plasterboard)?
At present, I ideally want OSB and plasterboard for their screwability and smoothness.

A fiber cement board can support quite a bit of weight, but screws alone are not sufficient as they are with a chipboard or plywood. Instead, you need to use a wall anchor (Molly plug) or something similar.

I'm reviving this old thread because I found this info from Beijers.

Both OSB and chipboard are suitable in a garage. If you can't get things to stay on the wall, it's not because of the boards. Use the right method and hanging devices, and it will hold "everything". Screws, for example, are not meant to hang anything on; they are meant to attach the devices intended for hanging the items. ;-)

Yes, Beijers seems to have a handle on things when they write that the particle boards should be installed with a 2mm movement gap.
Particle boards should be installed tight against the next board, except in corners. At least according to the manufacturers of particle boards.

Yes, Beijers seems to have a handle on the situation when they write that the particle boards should be mounted with a 2mm movement joint.
Particle boards should be mounted butted to the next board except in corners. At least according to the manufacturers of particle boards.

Yes, exactly ... I was also thinking about that movement joint ... Since the particle boards are 1200mm wide, should you then cut off 2mm from each board when you put it up. :eek:

But if it's as you write, I understand better.

Once again, the issue of choosing material behind drywall... I called one of the hardware stores in town and they recommended OSB for 125 kr/each delivered to the workplace. They could also sell a Brazilian plywood of second quality for 159 kr/each. I would like to have plywood because it is easier to handle, but I don't want something that has been shipped all the way from Brazil when I live in a country full of forests... So I tried to find some info on where OSB is manufactured. I couldn't find anything indicating that it is manufactured in Sweden. What should one use if a requirement is that it is manufactured in Sweden?

 

[GustavW]

All my OSB, purchased in different batches, is Canadian...

 

[Johan Gunverth]

I believe that almost all OSB is made in Canada or the USA.
