Hello,

After reading on Byggahus for a couple of years, I'm posting my first question.

I'm working on a stone house with cavity wall brick and flooring made of Leca.

I intend to install plasterboard as a smooth ceiling in the bedrooms. The natural shape of the Leca floors is an inverted U.

I would appreciate ideas on how to best attach plasterboards to the floor with minimal build height. Is there any method to attach plaster directly to the Leca?

I have started a test where I screw up 45x70 across the leca element, these are beveled at 5 degrees to match the tapered shape. I find the height using a spacer block that is clamped to the underside of the leca element when I screw it. It is then knocked loose. I attach a furring strip cc30 to this so it ends up a few millimeters below the leca. I use coarse Leca screws to screw up the cross-bearing structure. One on each side. Does it seem durable?

See pictures

The levels are even and nice, but is there any obvious disadvantage to this method? Most importantly, does anyone have a simpler method that is sustainably durable?
