Plasterboard / Chipboard / OSB???

[P-plats]

I'm doing some work at home in my 70s house and I'm thinking about which materials to use.

What's the advantage of using Gypsum?

As I see it, it just becomes troublesome with a Gypsum wall among all the Particleboard walls!?

There are maaany threads about the different properties of these materials, please use the search function.

If you are just going to renovate/build ONE wall, use spån there too!

Plaster is dimensionally stable, easy to cut, fire-resistant, cheap, (to some extent) sound-dampening, flat, and easy to putty and sand evenly. The disadvantage is that it is brittle and does not hold well for attaching things. A good wall construction is a layer of OSB on the inside and a layer of plaster on the outside. But naturally, this becomes more expensive and labor-intensive.

Gypsum is, as mentioned, easy to cut, shape, easy to plaster and paint on... also a good option from a fire safety perspective, (says I, who doesn't have a gypsum board in the whole house, just tretex and masonite) =)

I know the general differences and pros/cons but I'm wondering a bit about why I would abandon chipboard for a 1m wall among all the other chipboard walls...

and why would you do that!? is someone forcing you to use plaster!? do you want chipboard! Go for chipboard!

...thought it was you standing outside threatening me with a gun and a sign that said:
"Use Plaster or die..."

When are you coming for coffee?

Avoid having to find the saw?

yes you when will it be offered!`? let me know when there is homemade too so I'll come,
P.s. I prefer sawdust in the coffee than plaster D.s.

A typical thread where not all the facts emerge immediately... if I had been building new or doing a major renovation... then I would have chosen 2 layers of drywall.... With noggings at appropriate heights.... (Planning)... but as you write a little further down... 1 m... I assume 1 sqm... Then chipboard is suitable if you have it in the rest of the property...
