Most plasterboards are imperial one dimension and metric in the other!

The important point being that the width of a full size plasterboard sheet is 1.2 metres and the width of shuttering ply and some OSB is 4ft, like I said, if thinking of fitting both types of sheets to the same studwork there's a trap there for the unwary if you want the sheet joints to be on stud centres as is normal practice. If you had set the stud centres for shuttering ply and fixed the shuttering ply sheets on one side of the studs and then filled between the studs with foam insulation such as Kingspan and worse if you had already fitted a warm side vapour barrier on top of that and worser still if you had fitted noggins then suddenly realizing the blunder...sort of turns into a DIY SOS....
