Hello everyone,
Two years ago, we moved into our house, including the basement.
In the basement, we created a large room, which at the moment and in the future is divided into:
One side hobby room
One side storage/pantry room
I would like to visually separate both areas. I want to do this properly and am thinking of using drywall with gypsum board panels.
Now to my questions, or rather, I would like to get some advice here:
1. Does drywall make the most sense in terms of price/performance here?
2. I would ideally like to install panels on both sides, but without insulation – does that make sense? It’s meant purely as a visual separation.
3. Regarding the door opening: Obviously, a passage is needed, but it does not have to be a hinged door – maybe a sliding option could work, or possibly just leaving it open, since the doorway area is a nice feature visually and it could also be practical to keep the passage permanently open. Of course, planning a door makes sense for the future, but maybe someone has another idea?
4. I am open to suggestions or tips to keep everything as cost-effective as possible.
Thank you very much!!

Are there perhaps some tips or specific videos you could recommend for this?There is plenty of information available (including videos, drawings, and material specifications) from all the usual manufacturers of drywall materials.Harakiri schrieb:
Probably not for the wall (as long as the floor anchors are long enough), but definitely for the laminate – it needs to be able to “float,” and fixing it would cause problems. Trouble is guaranteed. You need to leave a gap for the flooring and don’t forget the acoustic insulation decoupling under the profiles.What is the best way to handle this? Should the laminate simply be cut out in that area and then the profiles glued or screwed directly to the screed?

@Prager91 Did your previous self-build project discussed here work out well?We initially decided against the room divider in the living area because it didn’t look right to us. We had tested it beforehand with wooden slats and therefore chose not to proceed with it.

What happened with the red curtain? You didn’t end up getting it?No, we want a long-term structure as a room divider – something more "solid" – that’s why we’re going with drywall construction.
