Plasterboard mounted

Plasterboard has been fitted this week, changing the overall perception of spaces in the house.  It’s also changed the way light is reflected around the house, arguably diffusing the light somewhat through a greater quantity of reflected light.

Like all panels, plasterboard has been fitted with a thin layer of foam between sheets, presumably to reduce the transmission of vibrations.  Whereas the internal plasterboard had been stapled, new plasterboard has been screwed into place.

  

At the moment the house is starting to unfold in front of our eyes.  It’s now possible to get a really good idea of the spaces and proportions, how the light will fall and where the shadows will gather. 

All these walls, along with the ceilings, will be painted the same white (more on that later).  The final floor has a similar level of luminosity, therefore the rooms will look at least this bright in natural light.
