Need some ideas...

[Ajax123]

For my bedroom ceiling. Old lathe and lime plaster ceiling. Has to come down and be replaced. I need to replace it with a board which is as thin as possible. 9.5mm plasterboard is the thinnest I've used. Is there anything thinner available? Ideally 6mm or thinner...

 

[martinemj]

No and Why ?

Guess?

Why do you need the extra 2mm? Is your disco Ball gonna hit the floor or something

You can get 6mm contour board, it’lol cost you though.

Put 12.5 on and lose the carpet there you go compromise

Thin board over old joists is going to look like it belongs at Alton towers

Just board between the joists.... It will look like you live in an old barn conversion . Win Win .

You're going to have to batten the ceiling anyway so you're already down half an inch.

Tape is probably too advanced for a veteran.
