Today I have a ceiling covered with ceiling panels. I now want a smooth ceiling and understand that plasterboard is the solution. Can I mount plasterboard directly onto the existing ceiling panels or must these be removed first?
I would guess that it's a ceiling like this (or similar) that you have. I also considered smoothing it out when we bought our house but gave up on the idea since it's probably impossible to get it right because the boards are not always perfectly aligned with each other.

Thank you very much! That's exactly what I have. These descriptions help since I have now decided to tear them down and install furring strips and drywall.
But why, my friend? Do you understand the job you're getting into for almost no reason at all? If your roof had been terrible with holes and such, I would understand. But just because you want a smooth ceiling, it feels like a really lousy task.
Of course, you do as you wish, but think twice before you start. It's not a quick job to tear down and put up a new ceiling. Much more work than you think. But good luck and don't forget to post the result!

Hehe. I understand what you mean. I've thought it over 2, 3, and 4 times.
Promise. A picture of the result will be posted.
If the current ceiling is smooth and straight, you don't need to take it down; you can screw drywall directly onto it.
Yes, that was my first thought too. But the thing is, the roof trusses are spaced at 1200mm centers. Gyproc, which I have chosen for drywall in this case, recommends a maximum spacing of 400mm centers.
