Drywall and Suspended Ceilings
Drywall is a lightweight partition and ceiling system built by fixing plasterboard to a metal frame. It goes up far faster than block work, adds little load to the building and allows services to run inside it, which is also what makes concealed lighting possible.
Scope
What we do
We handle the work below from one place. Surveys and quotations are free in Izmir Kemalpasa and the surrounding area. We also travel to every district of Izmir for this work on its own.
- Drywall partitions for dividing rooms and offices
- Suspended ceilings
- Concealed lighting recesses and stepped ceilings
- Cornices and decorative ceiling detail
- Wall linings and surface levelling
- Acoustic partitions with insulated frames
- Moisture-resistant board for wet areas
- Jointing and skim, handed over ready for paint
What We Watch For
The details that decide the quality
Sound insulation lives inside the frame
A drywall partition on its own does not stop sound. The insulation placed in the frame cavity does the work. If you are dividing a bedroom or a meeting room, say so at the start, because adding it later means opening the wall again.
Wet areas need a different board
Standard board is not used in bathrooms and kitchens. A moisture-resistant type is. Skip that distinction and the board draws in damp and fails over time.
Tell us in advance about heavy fixings
If a television, cupboard or shelving is going on a drywall wall, support has to be built into the frame at that point. Once the wall is closed, that support cannot be added.
FAQ
Frequently asked about drywall & suspended ceilings
What board thickness is standard?
Walls and ceilings commonly use 12.5 mm board. Insulation of 5 to 10 cm can be placed between the linings of a partition, and stud spacing is generally kept between 40 and 60 cm.
What can be hung on plasterboard?
Light items with the right fixings. Heavier loads need timber or metal noggins added at the fixing point before the boards go up, so we agree television and cabinet positions before closing the wall.
Is plasterboard suitable for wet areas?
Standard board is not. Moisture-resistant board is used in bathrooms and kitchens. With the wrong board the surface blisters over time and shows through the paint.
What is the most common mistake?
Closing the boards before the lighting and services layout is settled. Moving a downlight afterwards means opening the ceiling again.
Are drywall partitions strong enough?
Built with the correct frame spacing they are perfectly sound in everyday use. Points that will carry weight need support built into the frame. Once that is planned, televisions and cupboards hang without trouble.
Does a suspended ceiling make the room lower?
It lowers it somewhat, and by how much depends on the services running through it and the type of lighting. In a room with a low ceiling we measure this at the survey and tell you the exact figure, so there is no surprise.
How long does drywall work take?
A single room partition or suspended ceiling is usually done in 1 to 2 days. Work spread across a whole flat runs 3 to 5 days. Framing and boarding move quickly. What sets the pace is the drying time of the jointing and skim coats. Rushing that drying comes back as cracks once the paint is on.
Across Izmir
Plasterboard and suspended ceilings across Izmir
In Izmir we are called out for plasterboard mostly for two jobs. One is a suspended ceiling with hidden LED strips and spotlights. The other is a light partition that splits an existing room in two. When ceiling work is done in a furnished home, the room is cleared, the floor is covered and we work so that dust does not spread to other rooms. We come to any district for a single room's ceiling, and the job is usually planned in the same week as the painting.
