We are renovating a small bedroom.
The old gypsum ceiling is a bit worn, and I'm doubtful that it will look fresh if we just paint it.
Is it easiest to tear down all the gypsum and put up new ones?
Do you usually spackle the seams between the new ceiling gypsum boards in that case? Or is it just a matter of putting them up and painting?
Or is it better to try to sand the current ceiling and spackle in stages, and then paint?
Or is there some other convenient way?
Thankful for answers

What do you mean by wear, what kind of damage is it?
Like laying a floor on the ceiling, very simple, we did our guest toilet with a nail gun.shomakie said:
In the kitchen, we used 6 mm renovation gypsum, which was also skew-nailed with a nail gun (brads). Started with normal gypsum screws first, then gypsum screws for hard material, 50% of these either the screw head or the screw itself broke. The wood under the masonite board that was there was too hard. It required a lot of plastering, sanding, and painting, and we are still not completely satisfied. That's why we used finished boards on a ceiling that was half as large and completed it in a couple of hours despite more angles to consider, how many hours we spent on the kitchen ceiling I don't know, but it's many days.
Sounds tempting. Thanks for the tip. Can you/someone link to such a product? Is it something like this you mean? https://www.byggmax.se/virke/innerpanel/takpanel/innertak-p1026shomakie said:
Is it possible to use a regular hole saw to make holes for spotlights in such a panel? It should work without the paint cracking.
Thanks for the answer.
Personally, I feel it gives a bit of a "office feeling" to have such "patterned" panels with visible seams, but I know they are popular and if one is satisfied with it, then it's fine...
Isn't it really possible to just spackle and sand the ceiling? It should be the least work, I think...
