ᐅ Drywall vs. Plaster on Masonry Walls

Hello. Tomorrow we have our first consultation with Viebrockhaus. Meetings with other providers are still pending. What we are wondering is that Viebrockhaus covers the walls with drywall instead of plaster. The advantage is, of course, Q3 finish quality. The downside would be less secure mounting for TVs, etc., and the tendency to dent more easily.

We are undecided whether this concept is good or not. What do you think?

Thanks for your feedback 🙂
Regards
Pascal

So they would probably be fully glued all over. Thickness would be about 1.2cm (0.5 inches), so practically nothing.

I also consider this description to be a misunderstanding. For older walls (especially those with timber framing) that cannot be perfectly plumbed with plaster, this might be the material of choice. But for a masonry wall in a solid new build, achieving a flat surface with plaster is more practical.

The upper floor would be completely drywall.. You either like it or not ...

In pitched roof upper floors, drywall partition walls are popular with many house builders, while “town villas” often use masonry walls more frequently.
