Planning to undertake a minor renovation of my daughter's teenage room in the basement. One of the tasks is to create smooth ceilings. The ceiling currently shows traces of what seems to be old glue, indicating that panels or something similar were once attached to the ceiling.
However, the ceiling is solid concrete, which from experience requires heavy-duty tools to penetrate. So I'm not very keen on having to anchor and drill renovation plasterboards with a hammer drill and am not willing to lower the ceiling using battens. Is it sufficient to glue the drywall (and perhaps only use a couple of screws), or is it simpler to forgo drywall entirely and instead patch the ceiling? Or any suggestions for a completely different approach? Input appreciated!
I'm about to undertake a small renovation of my daughter's teenage room in the basement. One of the tasks is to create smooth ceilings. In the ceiling today, you can see traces of what appears to be old adhesive, indicating that there have been panels or something similar in the ceiling.

So I'm not too keen on having to plug and drill up renovation plaster with a hammer drill and not willing to lower the ceiling using battens. Is it enough to glue the plasterboard (and maybe just put a few screws) or is it easier to completely forget about plasterboard and instead go for plastering the ceiling? Or suggestions for a completely different approach? Input appreciated!

Personally, I would have plastered if I couldn’t/couldn’t be bothered to install battens and screw up a new ceiling. Glue would probably hold if there’s a smooth and clean surface underneath... but then you’d probably want to scrape it clean anyway, so you might as well plaster?
