Plasterboard for kitchen

Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.39 PM

I require my kitchen ceiling replacing after a water leak, I have posted the job on here for plastering but I am thinking of doing the boarding myself to keep the cost down. Do I need to use moisture resistant boards or would normal plasterboard be ok ? Reason I ask is because I can fit 1800 x 900 boards in my car but not 2400 x 1200 and its expensive to get them delivered as I only need 4 !.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Normal 12.5mm plasterboard will be fine to use. Make sure you screw them up against the joists and stagger the sheets to avoid straight joints in both directions. Also measure the joists before you put everysheet up as a full sheet doesn’t always work.

You don't need to use moisture board I would recommend framing out ur ceiling then using the 9.5mm 6x3 boards one they fit in ur car yes as u say plus they are lighter to hold up especially when doing a ceiling can be tiering on the arm's hope this helps

Normal boards will be fine, once plastered use bathroom or kitchen paint to provide a moisture barrier.
