If I want to avoid using chipboard in the floors, what can the alternative be in bathrooms in older wooden houses?
Not at all informed about the contents of the different boards, etc., but I would prefer to avoid all unnatural materials.

I understand the post is 5 years old, but when I calculate (byggmax) raw boards turn out to be more expensive than spån.cubix said:
I heard from a builder that the paneling almost always shrinks significantly after being in the wall for a while. If you have screwed the drywall into the paneling, the screws will start to move in the drywall, and it will show in (or in the worst case ruin) the wallpaper.
Wondering if it works better to place all the drywall joints at the studs and screw through the paneling into the studs?

I'm reviving a very old thread. Particle board moves quite a bit. Is it a problem if you put particle board behind drywall? Does OSB move less?
I still wonder. Is there a difference in movement between particle board and OSB?
Hello
Yes, there is a difference, but in practice, no difference.
Explain why you're asking so maybe we can help better, like "What should I choose for the basement floor, chipboard or OSB?, to which I would have answered: "It depends".
Many have gone with chipboard instead of OSB as it has been quite expensive lately.

Walls. If OSB or chipboard moves under the plasterboard, then the plasterboard should follow to some extent. Therefore, you would want to optimize for minimal moisture movement even in chipboard or OSB. That's why I'm wondering which of the two moves the least.
If you want exact figures, you'll probably have to conduct the tests yourself, but the collective experience on the subject is that moisture movements aren't a reasonable argument for choosing one over the other; both will work perfectly fine under the gypsum.O Olf Oggler said:
Since both are chip (albeit of different sizes) and glue, it's reasonable to assume they are very similar.
