Plasterboard walls
A term used in a instruction manual for fitting plasterboard walls. It refers to a process applied to joints or connections between the boards, studs or U-tracks used in their construction, for instance:
Las testas de placa se contrapean un mínimo de 400 mm.
Se termina la colocación de placas de la otra cara del sistema, procurando que las juntas se queden contrapeadas con respecto a las placas de la cara opuesta
Este proceso se realizará con las piezas de empalme T-45 y se contrapearán todos los empalmes.

Madera contrachapada
Por tanto, sería erróneo suponer que los OSB pueden sustituir a todos los tipos de madera contrachapada, incluido el contrachapado de maderas duras.
It would therefore be wrong to assume that OSB can be substituted by all types of plywood, including hardwood plywoods.
