Hello!
Our whole apartment has concrete walls, and so far we have steamed down the wallpaper and skim-coated. But in the living room, one wall has particle board with wooden studs. There are also four layers of wallpaper, and a few cracks can be seen behind the wallpaper in the particle board. The house is from 1965.
Can one "slap up" renovation plasterboard over the wallpaper and everything? Do you then screw into the old existing studs, or some other solution - glue or something else? I'm thinking it's easy to hit the old nails/screws if you screw up new boards? The particle board is about 1 cm thick and lies about 3 cm from the concrete wall (I measured through an old screw hole). 40 cm between the studs.
And out of curiosity - why this solution in just one place in the apartment (it's an interior wall between our living room and the neighbor's small bedroom)? Would be fun to know!

It's just attaching as usual on the board, it fits well in the chip. But if you don't want to save those 7mm in thickness, just take regular plasterboard which is cheaper and turns out better. It usually gets a bit tricky with the screws with renovation plasterboard.
Wow, what quick responses! thanks! Yes, of course, regular drywall works too, I didn't think of that. There are no window or door frames to consider, so it's just a matter of going for it. That's probably how it will be!
Slacker: yes, I've also considered if it's soundproofing, it probably is.

Run this https://www.byggmax.se/skivmaterial/gipsskivor/gipsskiva-p07599 if you're working on an existing wall, and if you also have a house from -65, it's likely tongue-and-groove timber in the walls, so you don't need to pay attention to the studs.
