What can you use plasterboard for?

Starting in the 1930s, plasterboard was increasingly used for all sorts of applications. Even today, they are still widely used. Plasterboard is cheap and easy to install. Nowadays they are mainly used to install a partition wall, so that an extra room can be created. They are also used to place over old walls, so that the wall looks like new again with a nice finish.

But they can also be used for ceilings. After installing the plasterboard, you can either paint the plasterboard or have it beautifully finished with stucco.

The possibilities

Once you have placed drywall, it needs to be finished off nicely. Drywall painting is one option, but there are a number of other things that are important when finishing drywall. We give you an overview below!

Filling holes and seams

The finishing of plasterboard includes filling holes and seams. If you don't have this done, it will have a sloppy appearance. For a nice, smooth result, have the professional fill up the irregularities with plasterboard filler or, if there are many holes, with mortar. You can fill the holes yourself if you want to save some money.

Once the holes have been filled, the whole thing should be lightly sanded. Sanding the plasterboards is more difficult than you think, because it is important that this is done carefully. Would you rather not take any risks? Then have the whole thing finished by a professional!
