We are thinking of completely renovating the kitchen in our 70s house, and I'm planning to do as much as possible on my own (except for water/electric) but have a couple of questions about the interior walls...
Currently, there are particle boards on all the interior walls, and since I want to install new electrical wiring and add extra outlets, I guess the best solution is to tear down these boards (rather than putting renovation plasterboard) to install new electric wires and then put up new boards. However, I'm wondering what the "standard" is to put up? Particle boards and then plasterboard on top to easily attach things to the walls? I assume the studs can stay as they are (possibly needing completion depending on what's going to be mounted on the wall). Additionally, I believe the interior walls don't have any insulation, so it might be a good idea to add it to dampen sound to the rest of the house?
What do you think about this? Tips and ideas are gratefully received!

Hope it's okay if I bump the thread a bit?
I have about the same consideration but I'm going to divide the upper floor and create two new rooms up there.
Of course, I realize that the thicker it is, the more stable it will be, but my plan is to use 45×70 studs, cc600, single plasterboard 1200mm... but then...
OSB 11mm, 15mm or 18mm?
Plywood?
What insulation should be used??
As usual, a huge jungle...😉

It is probably decided at home that it will be 45×70 studs, 11mm OSB, 12mm drywall, and insulation. The wall will be 116, so let's hope there are door frames for that too 😃
Anything special to consider with the electrical boxes? It will be 2 mm less than if you use double drywall, but that shouldn't be a problem, right?
