Quote: plasterboard partition
E.g.: creating a partition to divide a living room, drywall lining on an existing wall
Creating an office, bedroom or storage space starts with a dimensioned plan and the use of both areas. State the door, sockets, wall-mounted furniture and desired quiet. This covers a new internal partition; lining an existing wall or removing a load-bearing wall is a different scope.
Agree the plan before closing
Provide dimensions, door opening, passage direction and equipment positions. Have effects on light, ventilation and use of each space assessed. Locate existing services and coordinate sockets and switches before closing the boards.
Request the full assembly
Specify framing, board number and type, insulation, joints and perimeter connections. Knauf ties declared performance to its complete system. Request evidence for the proposed build-up rather than a promise based only on board count or the word acoustic.
Assess sound with the junctions
Describe troublesome noise and your objective. Buildwise explains sound paths through junctions and adjacent elements. Have the door, floor and ceiling connections and service penetrations considered. No universal ranking makes every plasterboard partition better or worse than masonry.
Plan wall-mounted loads
List furniture, television, radiator, handrail and locations before quotation. Have load supports and fixings selected for the assembly rather than assuming a universal plug is enough. Keep a record of reinforcement and services before closing.
Define moisture and finish
State exposure of each face and final covering. Confirm a suitable wet-area assembly and protection instead of treating moisture-resistant board as the whole solution. Specify jointing, preparation and painting; ready to paint should describe an agreed service and result.
Indicative prices in Luxembourg
On quotation
Compare a complete partition of equal length and height with both faces and matching options. Clarify measurement conventions to avoid counting area twice. No Luxembourg average is stated without dated comparable quotations.
Subsidies and grants
No grant is deducted from the budget shown here. If a quote mentions support, request the exact scheme and confirmation of your eligibility before including it in financing.
Frequently asked questions
Does double boarding guarantee quiet?
No. Check the complete system and sound paths through doors, junctions and adjacent walls.

What thickness is needed?
That of the assembly selected after assessing height, performance, equipment and project constraints.
