Construction plywood or ceiling plasterboard first?
Page 1 of 2
Given that you want to install 12mm construction plywood behind the drywall on the walls, should the ceiling be drywalled first, or should the plywood be mounted on the wall first?
Should the ceiling drywall rest against the plywood or should the plywood rest against the ceiling drywall?
Should the ceiling drywall rest against the plywood or should the plywood rest against the ceiling drywall?

I have seen both variants, including the version where the ceiling is plastered before the interior walls go up. Saves time for the carpenter but becomes trickier for the electrician...
You can do it in different ways.
I first put OSB on the walls, then ceiling planks (Huntonit-type, mine were probably of the Tak-Ess brand) and finally I put wall gypsum. The wall gypsum last was necessary because I planned to have it without a ceiling molding and did not intend to plaster and paint a ceiling.

Do you want a picture with a cracked latex joint in the transition, or one that's intact?
The first one is really easy to fix. The second one I think I can also fix, if I search a bit I'll probably find a spot with a long enough section without cracks for a picture. :eek:
But I think I'll take photos tomorrow. Don't feel like it now, and it's starting to get a bit dusky, I think it will be better if I get a larger amount of natural light.

Hello. Now comes the next question. Are there any concerns aside from more cutting when installing 2400 plyfa on a 2500 ceiling height, thereby also getting horizontal seams (given that you avoid gneralslinga)? Will there be any other complications with the gypsum (which is 2500)?
