I am in the process of tearing down two old good interior ceilings from the turn of the century, plastered on reed mat.
But what are such ceilings actually called? I've always said "klyssong" (where I learned that I don't know) but now a colleague came and started talking about "kleasong".
Not that it really matters - but it would be fun to know...

You might mean revetering? Reveterade roofs, in other words.
Well, revetera is more the technique of plastering on reed or mesh.
I'm probably more after the material. "Klyssong/kleasong" might just be the type of reed/reed mat...

Yes? That sounds a lot like a revetered ceiling. Had those in my old apartment.

You are absolutely right, it's called something like what you write "Klyssong/kleasong."
I've searched my memory, haven't quite found the right one yet.
It might come….
The technique is thus a subcategory of revetering.
(Revetering essentially means to "clothe" something, in this case with plaster)

Kloasong or cloison might be the word you're looking for?
Plastering on planks.

Thank you - Christmas is saved!!!
And now one found Nordisk Familjebok from 1924:
"Cloison wall (fr. cloison],
a light and thin partition in stone buildings, usually constructed with a core of 7.5 cm thick standing planks with 2.5 cm board paneling on either side, upon which "röras", i.e., reeds are nailed, and plastered. Cloison walls are also constructed of monier or rabits construction or of upright plates, which appear on the market under a variety of names. They mainly consist of gypsum mixed with sawdust, coke ash, etc. The characteristic of a cloison wall, however, is that it does not form any structural part of the building framework itself, but serves only as a partition. It does not rest on the foundation wall and bears no floor joists."

Couldn't let it go. Far too many craftsmen called it reveterat in my apartment, including my friend, the architectural conservator.
"Cladding with plaster on wooden walls. Common in the mid-1800s. To make the plaster adhere, you can, for example, use steel wire mesh with woven-in reeds fastened to the wooden frame or so-called reveteringstegel. Reveterade inner walls are usually called kloasongväggar.

Indoor reveterat is called kloasong! Terminology confusion, then.
