Drywall work and suspended ceilings in Belgrade
Suspended ceilings, partition walls, niches and finishes. Drywall work in Belgrade: suspended ceilings, plasterboard partition walls, niches, pipe boxing and finishing around windows and doors. It is dry construction, without plaster or masonry, so the layout of a space can be changed without wet work.

Frame, boards and joints
The base is a metal frame: profiles are fixed to the ceiling, floor and walls, and plasterboard is screwed onto them. A partition has boards on both sides of the studs, with mineral wool placed between them to reduce sound passing between rooms. The board joints are taped and filled with compound, and the surface is then ready for skimming and paint.
The board is chosen for the room: moisture-resistant board in bathrooms and kitchens, fire-resistant board where higher fire resistance is needed. If kitchen units, a television or loaded shelves will hang on the wall, reinforcement is built in at that spot before the wall is closed, because the board alone does not carry a heavier load. Edges and corners are protected with metal or plastic corner beads embedded in the compound so that knocks do not damage the board, and around windows and doors plasterboard is also used to straighten the reveals after new frames are fitted.
A suspended ceiling and the services above it
A suspended ceiling usually hides something: lighting wiring, a waste pipe from the flat above, a ventilation duct or an uneven slab. All the cables and pipes running above it must be finished before it is closed, and where access will be needed, as at a valve or a junction box, inspection hatches are left.
The price changes with the area, the drop height, the number of levels and corners, recessed lights and LED channels, and whether a new wall has to fit existing out-of-true walls and ceiling. That is why the ceiling and wall are measured at the address and the light layout is agreed before work starts, so that boards do not have to be cut afterwards.
