But no one said about the harmfulness of these plates ... children will live. The rooms are about 25 m2, the entire wall with a slant on the length of 6.40, moreover,...

Call a specialist and have him put plaster on the board. It looks very bad.

Where did you read about the harmfulness of OSB boards? I ignore the questionable sense, costs, visual aspects and standard technical solutions in such a place (ie mineral wool and drywall on top), but I would not care. OSB boards are used in many places and nobody pays attention to the supposed harmfulness, I even asked someone about it quickly and said not to worry about it at all. In addition, you can see that the team is weak, because it is not done aesthetically.

I know that the quality leaves a lot to be desired, unfortunately, when a woman is alone on the battlefield, the effects are the same ... but this is not the end of this work because I have suspended the work for the moment.
As for the harmfulness of the plates. The gentleman who founded the lighting informed me that they contain formaldehydes and other toxic chemicals

I got just this answer to my query:

A raw plate as a finish is a visually interesting idea ???
The OSB board gives off formaldehyde and it cannot be found in living quarters in the form you have.
There are even standards that define the maximum area of OSB in living quarters. Here I see no alternative but to disassemble these panels and finish them with something else, plaster or wooden board.

and someone removed it from the main forum where I pointed out my problem ..

Hello my friend,
as long as I have been working on repairs, I have never heard of something like this, and probably about many other things as well

Out of curiosity, I read a little about it and
https://www.swisskrono.pl/mdb/Plyta-OSB/produkt

The text mentions the hygiene class E1, so
https://wuteh.com.pl/klasa-higienicznosci-e1/

These are specific companies, so the reliability of this information can be different.

For the sake of peace, I would recommend you to find out what exactly and what manufacturer of discs were used, then obtain a technical sheet and approvals of this product, you can come to the forum and we will read whether it is harmful or not

As for the quality of workmanship, well ... I am not a carpenter, but a lot .. does not stop

siewcu · Answer

How should the GK go, it is OSB for disassembly and mineral wool underneath (probably not there, but that's just my guess) and a frame to make the GK properly.

Parowy · Answer

It is possible, as long as these specific boards meet the requirements of the mentioned E1 class

siewcu · Answer

In this case, there is no question of build quality. At the end of the plate, zero fold (and if they wanted to, the plate was stained with paint after painting the ceiling, a protruding piece of an angle bar at the post ...

Toxic formaldehyde is released from such OSB boards, therefore they are not suitable for use in living quarters, especially in children's rooms. Chase the robots, because they have no idea and they don't do it for themselves, so everything hangs on them (even if they were aware of it).

Added after 5 [minutes]: THERE IS A FRAME AND WOOL

Parowy · Answer

There are appropriate standards for this, let's get to know the specifics of the discs used in this case, before we give a verdict. It hurt me personally

Jorysiu79 · Answer

that is, it must meet! According to the book Documentation and specifications in public procurement in the field of OSB boards: - formaldehyde content - class 1 | = 8mg / 100g Let me put it this way, I'll try to get information from a warehouse .. I feel helpless, deceived and I will honestly say stupid ... and I'm terribly sorry that I got so messed up Added after 13 [minutes]: I will check the approvals in the warehouse and keep asking ..

Just paint it. Colorless. Secondly, you cannot even imagine how much formaldehyde is generated by kitchen furniture. I have a Chinese meter, the morning massacre is in the kitchen.

Parowy · Answer

Don't worry, you are not the first, not the only and not the last. There will still be a lot of water in the Dunajec before normal, responsible people will deal with such works. I am also sorry for my colleagues, although I had no idea about this issue myself, the question remains how the contractor will approach such a problem. We are waiting for information, keep your head up

Norms, i.e. releases less than a certain (arbitrarily determined) value - but does not mean that it does not emit formaldehyde at all. It's just that this is a room for a child (whose body is very sensitive to all carcinogenic chemicals) and not adults whose health is already degraded by water and cigarettes
