summa sumarum (spelled correctly now)
put whatever you want. osb cheaper than plywood.

sure, you can run this longer.
Should one use expansion joints even on plywood? Or can it be placed edge to edge?
...and the day you want to change something, when everything is glued and screwed in multiple layers both wall and floor, requires training as a "dynamitard"

If we want to keep the thread alive a bit longer, we can specify what type of drywall is meant, for instance:
* from "OSB or plywood behind drywall?"
* to "OSB or plywood behind moisture-resistant drywall?"
A few years ago, there were confused discussions about whether it was allowed to have any kind of wood board there at all, but now it is, right? So what do you say? OSB or Plywood?

Wow, such a coincidence. I actually hide it behind the plaster,...
...but hey, don't gossip.
I even screw it on at night with the lights off, so no one will see it...

...the strangest thing of all is that once the board is in place, regardless of type, it works very well and you never have to think about what type of board is there. As long as there's something more than plaster...... Wonder why it is this way?
To add more important information to this thread, I can tell you that in our new house there will be 15mm beadboard behind the plasterboard so I can do carpentry with the light on

Isn't that about what it's for?Elkludde said:
However, I BELIEVE it is stronger than regular plywood and chipboard.
Am I right there, or at least with one of the alternatives?
For fairness, compare in the same thickness.
Of course, anything other than 22mm tongue and groove flooring chipboard is unacceptable for a wall, but just because
Plywood has better strength than OSB, but the difference is not significant compared to particleboard, which is considerably weaker and tends to crumble. Everything is still sufficient in my opinion as long as you don't plan to have elephants on the walls.
