Installation of a continuous plasterboard ceiling
Continuous gypsum board ceiling

Plasterboard ceiling: boards, framing, insulation and finish

A continuous plasterboard ceiling creates a smooth surface and supports lighting features, bulkheads and decorative forms. The visible board is only one part; substrate, hangers, metal framing, joints and the required system performance determine the final result.

01

Selecting the board

Standard board suits compatible dry rooms. Moisture, fire, impact or acoustic requirements call for a specific board within a documented complete assembly.

  • Standard board for general dry use
  • Moisture-resistant board where specified
  • Technical board for fire-rated assemblies
  • Perforated or acoustic board where required
02

Framing, hangers and insulation

Profiles and hangers transfer ceiling loads to the substrate. Mineral wool may improve comfort when coordinated with services, junctions and the overall assembly.

  • Spacing follows system documentation
  • Anchors match the structural substrate
  • Provide reinforcement for loads and hatches
  • Install insulation continuously without crushing
03

Jointing and final finish

Visual quality depends on board joints, screws, corners, perimeter details and grazing light. Jointing level, final preparation and painting must be defined in the scope.

  • Compatible tape and compound
  • Movement joints where required
  • Controlled sanding and preparation
  • Paint clearly included or excluded

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is drywall the same as plasterboard?

The terms often describe gypsum board systems. Product names vary by market, but the full ceiling also includes framing, hangers, fasteners and finishing products.

Can mineral wool be installed above the ceiling?

Yes, if the frame, space, services and intended performance allow it. The assembly should be checked as a whole.

What changes the quotation?

Area, height, board layers, insulation, shapes, openings, access hatches, finish level, paint, location and access conditions.
