Drywall installation: when is it a wise decision and how to get a perfect result

Curved walls, uneven ceilings, cold and noise from neighbors? Installing drywall is a quick and clean way to straighten surfaces, add soundproofing, hide installations, and create modern lines. With the right team and specifications, the result is a smooth base for plastering and painting, better comfort, and less dust compared to wet plasters.

What does the service include

Wall cladding — straightening of curved walls, space for installations and insulation.

Suspended ceiling — leveling, cable concealment/lighting, acoustic option.

Partition walls— quick zoning of spaces without wet processes.

Niches, boxes, built-in lighting fixtures — clean design and functionality.

Insulations — adding mineral wool for sound insulation and thermal insulation.

After installation come plastering, sanding, and painting for a perfect finish.


When drywall wins over "wet" plasters

• You have serious curves and want a quick and clean correction.

• It is necessary to hide installations/lighting or add sound insulation.

• You are planning a partition without heavy construction work (less noise/dust).

• You are looking for predictable timelines and a lower risk of cracking when the building moves..


Common mistakes and how to avoid them

Myth: „The drywall always sounds hollow and is brittle.“

Fact: With a correct system (proper profiles, density of fasteners, strips, and insulation), the wall is strong and acoustically better than poorly aligned plasters..


Myth: „Just a flat surface + foam is enough.“

Fact: Correct profiles, leveling, tape along the joints, and primer are needed. Missing element = cracks and poor sound insulation.


What to require in the offer (checklist):

• Type of system (pre-wall cladding/suspended ceiling/partition wall) and thicknesses.

• Profiles, distances, fasteners, strips, and angles; type of panels (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-resistant) .

• Insulations (wool: density/thickness) for sound insulation and comfort.

• Stages: installation → plastering (at least two coats) → sanding → paint.

• Deadline, warranty, cleanliness/waste removal, protection of premises.

How a well-organized assembly takes place 

1. Inspection and specification — measurements, insulation requirements, lighting, access openings.

2. Preparation — protection of the floor/furniture, marking of levels and lines.

3. Profile skeleton — laser leveling, correct fastenings.

4. Insulation and wiring — soundproofing/sound insulation and readiness for equipment.

5. Cladding and joints — surfaces, strips, corners, first coat of putty.

6. Finish — second/third coat of plastering, sanding, priming, and painting.

Thus, you have a smooth, durable, and acoustic foundation for the interior.

How long does it take and what does the budget depend on

It depends on the area, complexity (niche/multiple levels), number of partition walls, type of panels, insulation, and accessibility. A suspended ceiling in a standard room is often completed in 1–2 days (without painting). A complex apartment with niches/lighting and drywall requires a phased approach.

• Clear offer with the above checklist and fixed stages.

• Communication - fast, specific, with guidelines for care after installation .

• Reviews and warranty conditions.


Quick application plan

• Take 6–10 photos of the rooms, noting any bends/cracks .

• Add a sketch with dimensions and wishes (niche, hidden lighting, partition walls).

• Specify priorities: sound insulation, leveling, cable concealment, quick deadlines.

• Send the same specification to 2–3 contractors; compare stages, materials, and warranty.
