Ceiling drywall or regular?

[OdugligMenErfaren]

Hello!
I'm planning to plaster the ceiling and I'm considering what would be easiest for the spackling. I really hate paper tape. Ceiling plasterboard does have a narrow edge all around, and, can you spackle it too just to avoid using tape..?

No.

No.

Thanks for a fantastic descriptive & explanatory answer. Love when I learn things

You are thinking of gipsplank, which has a visible grid pattern when finished, as mentioned, it cannot be smoothed with putty without significant efforts! An alternative is to choose facade gypsum and use fiberglass tape instead of paper tape, much easier but not quite as good as paper tape it is said.

No, the ceiling gypsum should keep the chamfer.
You only putty the screw holes then.

Why do you hate paper tape?

 

[OdugligMenErfaren]

No, ceiling drywall should have the beveling intact.
You only fill in the screw holes then.

Why do you hate paper tape?

I figured since you still fill in the short sides of regular drywall, it should work all around on ceiling drywall too
Just had a bad experience with it, the wall I did in my old apartment didn't turn out well, probably poor execution.

Okay, what do you think about this? It's spaced cc30 with 28x70, can I use renovational plasterboard to build as little as possible?

I think renoveringsgips is completely worthless... It's 6mm we're talking about. Renoveringsgips follows every unevenness, the screws often leave a small ridge around the head, more expensive. Yeah, just worse

Fill with vårrumsspackel, as little as you can in the bevel, glue the tape with something like wallpaper glue or våtrumslim, dry, fill, sand, fill, etc. until you're satisfied, the short ends will be the most difficult... You might have to fill out about 20 cm on each side of the joint.

I think you're looking for a product called plangips. It has the same format as a regular gypsum board but is beveled along all edges. Quite expensive though, but I plan to use it when it's time for the ceilings here at home.

Or you can use microlit over the entire surface.
