OSB or tongue and groove?
Page 1 of 3
Does anyone know what is best to put in the inner walls behind the plasterboard, OSB or råspont???
Please motivate your answer so I can get some more "meat on the bones"!

Raw wood sheathing, you get a few extra mm to screw into. Normally, you use 12 mm OSB/plywood but the raw wood sheathing is usually around 17 mm
Disadvantage, it takes longer to put up
Advantage, you can buy a nail gun with a clear conscience
I personally use raw wood sheathing and it's actually quite quick to put up. It's also easy to handle

Price or transport does not matter, as the housing company is responsible for that. Raw board is in the contract, but the builders want to change to OSB, I assume because it's more difficult to install the raw board.
So aside from price and transport, which is the best to choose????

Tongue and groove is better if you can get it installed and finished for the same price. The difference is minimal, but it does give a slightly more solid feel with tongue and groove. (I'm personally using OSB in my project to save some time (=money)). The carpenter who's helping me with the extension used tongue and groove in his own house... ("if the carpenter gets to choose").

Keep in mind that OSB + gypsum almost gives the same fire rating as 2x gypsum. Glue is what is used to hold the board together. The lignin, which is wood's own binding agent, does not work under high pressure because it dissolves under moisture stress. Is there not some value in the fact that the OSB is dimensionally stable and has a positive impact against tension?
Does anyone have any experience using 9mm board behind the drywall?
I have it on the ground floor of an Eksjöhus Kvadraten, but only on the outer walls.
So I'm considering having it on the upper floor in the slanted ceiling and on the gables.
What do you think?

Not cheap, but maybe a little foolish.kristofer.eklund said:
OSB, by the way, is good for both screwing and nailing into.
