Ask your QuestionIs it better to get plasterboard or plaster over brick walls in bedroom?
Asked by Ayesha on 8th Mar 2021Best Answer
"Plasterboard would have to be dot & dab on to the brick. Or your other option is to put a bonding coat over the brick then a skim coat. Both work equally as well.
Hope this helps."
"Hi . It’s better to plaster using a material called hardwall.
This gives you a solid strong wall.
If you use plaster board ie dot n dab you end up with a hollow gap behind the surface.
The 1st solid option is more expensive."
"Morning madam
It depends if it just one wall I would used on coat bonding than skimming over it .
If the whole room then definitely plasterboard all over
I hope I have indicated you to what you need to know
Thank you"
"Traditional float and set is always best, dabbing plasterboard leaves hollow spots for potential holes ect, but that’s how most of it’s done these days entirely your decision"
