Lining a wall with plywood: how thick should the ply be?

I propose putting the boards on to 40 by 40 battens (themselves fastened to the concrete substrate with concrete bolts or maybe 100 , by 75 concrete screws)

Boards screwed to the battens  with something hefty and plugged. The battens will be painted black so that, using a 3mm gap, there is a sort of 'shadow-gap' round the boards.

 

Gonna look sexy as Hell 

 

(Why would I want something like that then?)?

This is going to look v. good. Maybe even “sexy”. You don’t need to paint then black though. A slightly darker colour will be fine, as there will be some shadow there. Black might be too contrasty, though.

do you know you can get a special profile to put between the sheets to provide the gap 

Hi @Russell griffiths can you send me a link to this as we are hoping to "ply" our utility room leaving the ply as the final finish and I am searching for options to fit it neatly etc.

Hi @ToughButterCup did you proceed with your ply walls? Any update on how it went; details on how you installed etc? thanks
