Hi everyone.. firstly, what is the difference between plaster and plasterboard?
secondly, i have 2 rooms..
Within the canteen, lockers and toilet locations the wall consists of 15mm lightweight plaster, 100mm lightweight concrete block and a outer seam of 15mm lightweight plaster.
is the block used as an insulater? what is the plaster used for?
General offices, date rooms and training areas. 25mm plaster board, 50mm air crevice, 25mm plasterboard.
is the plasterboard used instead of a wall? why? and why is there very soon 25mm? instead of 15? or is it just because its not like as plaster?
i know there are profoundly of little questions but answers to as frequent as possible would be amazingly helpful!
appreciation (this is a commerical building)
Boards ( Dry lining) is your fastest option if you are contained by a commercial building and want things done quick. True plaster involves a brown first coat and after a lighter "skim" of finish. There are many different types of plaster for different situations, - sopping, old buildings etc. Go next to lining boards, cassette the joints and afterwards skim the boards. Use board rawl plugs when you want to hang anything on them though.
On a unprotected wall, you plaster board it as level as you can and later you skim the wall with plaster. plaster is a mix to be exact sloppy and is spread across the wall to smooth and shiny finish. The brick is just the wall that the board is put on! plaster board is also call drylining.

Answers: Plaster is a powder which when water is added is used to smooth over walls & ceiling.
Plasterboard is bought in sheets which is nail or screwed to wooden battons.
In modern buildings internal walls are formed from wooden frames (with insulation and soundproofing added) and plasterboard is screwed over.
Generally thinner plasterboard is used for ceilings.
However it is entirely possible to build a wall using brick (or similar) and apply plaster directly to it. This is a more time-consuming and expensive method. Normally next to a brick wall a wooden frame would be added and plasterboard attached.
I assume you're thinking of changing the configuration. My counsel would be to speak to a builder. There are legal requirements for insulation, soundproofing and fire sanctuary. You also need to be totally careful when removing anything from an out-of-date building to check for asbestos. It can be present in plasterboard and insulation
