90 cm gypsum boards

[cinema101]

Have a slightly dull wall with plastered gypsum. I was thinking of putting up renovation gypsum so the surface becomes smooth. It is framed as usual with cc60, but the only gypsum available was 90 cm.

What's the easiest way to deal with the joints then? There's nothing to screw into!

One way might be to apply renovation plasterboard. Then you can screw into all the studs. The downside is that you will have horizontal joints on the wall.

Renovation plasterboard is also available in 120. Bought it myself the other day. http://www.byggmax.com/se-sv/Prod/PID-07006.aspx

Don't understand why people buy renovation plasterboard. I think it's rubbish and also more expensive. Sure, a regular plasterboard is heavier, but for a room, you don't need that many boards.

We have glued renovation plaster on walls made of Leca blocks. It felt easier and more convenient than plastering. Gluing might be a solution for cinema101 too?

I agree with Janne. Skip the renovation plasterboard and use regular plasterboard instead.

One way might be to install renovation drywall. Then you can screw into all the studs. The downside is that you'll have horizontal joints on the wall.

If you install the drywall, don't you first need to frame out to get stud support behind the long sides of the boards?

There is already an old wall behind it.
Gluing and screwing a bit into the studs you can reach might be the best solution if you've decided to use 90 renovation gypsum.

If cinema101 is lucky, the old wall might consist of double gypsum or OSB + gypsum. In that case, it's probably just a matter of screwing.

lay the disks down instead and choose 2400 in length

lay the discs down instead and choose 2400 on the length

I do that! I've received a lot of discs from a neighbor.
