Drywall or plaster - it is cheaper , faster , better ?

Advantages and disadvantages of drywall

With drywall best align very curved walls, which are hollow and convexity of a few centimeters.Sometimes also (especially in private homes) that the wall is not only irregular, but not even a strictly vertical.In this case, much easier and faster to use drywall, you try using shturkaturki achieve ideal surface parameters.

With strong "inconsistencies" slabs, and they sometimes reach 5-8 centimeters, is also much easier to do the alignment using the GCR.Another plus - the ability to create with the help of drywall different designs and different height ceilings, as well as ease of masking wiring and various communications.

The disadvantages of using cardboard-gypsum sheets include the following:

• sneaks useful area of ​​the room (in the area of ​​20 sq m - about 0.9 m.);
• alignment of the outer wall insulation may be in breach with the consequent formation of dampness and mold on the inside;
• on a plaster wall, you can not hang a shelf or heavy picture, and from the strong impact this material may fail;
• between the GCR and the wall, even if the insulating material filling the space can be got rodents.And it does not just annoy your fuss, but also damage the communications.

order not to lose those extra meters, GC sheets is acceptable to glue directly to the wall on perlfiks.However, this option is possible only with small bumps.

In any case, keep in mind that using a drywall instead of plaster, it will still need to cover a layer of finishing filler, followed by grinding.Plastering the walls of plasterboard eliminates the problems that you will encounter in the future.If you wish to re-stick wallpaper arisen, there will be difficulty - old polotnitsa will be removed along with the outer shell of gypsum board - cardboard.

Pros and cons of plaster

Whatever may be said of modern materials, but the most reliable and durable way to align the walls and ceiling - lime or cement-sand plaster.She has only two drawbacks - the very high cost of the work yourself, you are unlikely to be able to produce high quality and a long drying time.

Therefore, if we are talking about how to use the material - plasterboard or plaster, is probably necessary to speak of gypsum plaster or putty starting with a further coating the walls and ceiling with a thin layer of finishing putties.

This plaster has a number of advantages over gypsum board.Firstly, you will lose a minimum amount of useful area of ​​the room.Second, you can freely shoot at the wall nail a shelf or hang a heavy picture, without fear that it will destroy her.And, thirdly, uniquely profitable plastered with small bumps.

use plaster Cons:

• when plastering will be a lot of dust and dirt;
• necessary prodelyvat Stroebe and put them in all communications;
• desirable (although not mandatory) before starting work on the walls to fix the grid, and this entails additional time and costs;
• much slower repair will be promoted, because at one time you will never get a perfectly flat wall;
• need overwrite wall cloth or mesh, followed by applying the finishing putty.

What cheaper drywall or plaster?

If you analyze the question of whether it is cheaper to drywall or plaster, then there is need to consider a number of points .It is necessary not only to estimate the geometry of the walls and the approximate number of materials, but also to calculate the time required for finishing work.And only after that rely repair budget.In addition, it is worth remembering that if plastering can execute one man, then the installation of the GCR produced with the assistant, and then, you may receive additional paper consumption - payment of operating services.

Given all the above, we can draw the following conclusion.Provided that the wall should be just a little touch up, definitely cheaper plaster.But at the very uneven walls and ceilings can be a cheaper finishing drywall.Therefore, the final selection should do yourself, after weighing the benefits and disadvantages of each method.
