Does plasterboard support hanging furniture like a masonry wall?

Yes, if the appropriate supports are placed at installation time (reinforcement profiles behind the plasterboard, specific fixings). Without prior reinforcement, plasterboard only supports light loads.

Is microcement suitable for the bathroom floor?

Yes, provided it is applied with the right primer, reinforcement mesh and a waterproof final seal. It requires careful execution; a bad application cracks quickly.

Plasterboard, finishes and paint: combined view of the closing trades

This page explains, together, how the three closing trades work alongside each other: plasterboard (light partitions and false ceilings), decorative finishes (microcement, stucco, coatings) and painting. Each one also has its own dedicated page.

What it involves

Three individual services with their own pages

The finishes group combines different work families: dry partitions (plasterboard), false ceilings, continuous coatings (microcement), floors, paint, carpentry and decoration. It can be applied piece by piece (only paint, only flooring) or as a full package after a structural or installation intervention.

Every finish choice has practical implications: microcement in wet areas requires substrate preparation, parquet does not tolerate continuous moisture, plasterboard lets you route wiring and coves without heavy works, and washable plastic paint handles intensive cleaning better.

If you are looking for information on one of the three trades specifically, go straight to its individual page: Plasterboard, Finishes or Painting. This page remains as a combined view of how the three trades are coordinated in a renovation.

In depth

Plasterboard, finishes and paint in Málaga: three trades with individual pages

This page keeps the combined view of the three closing trades that are often contracted together: plasterboard (light partitions and false ceilings), decorative finishes (microcement, stuccoes, continuous coatings) and painting. They are independent trades, with their own execution and materials, but they share one decisive trait: they are the last to enter the works and their quality defines the visible final result. A badly executed finish wipes out the investment made in structure, services and masonry.

For the technical detail of each trade we recommend consulting the matching individual page. The Plasterboard page explains board types (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-resistant, acoustic), the assembly sequence and the areas where each system is used. The Finishes page breaks down the microcement, stucco and sprayed-mortar families, with their substrate requirements and service life. The Painting page covers product types per room, substrate preparation and the differences between interior paint and façade paint.

In a complete renovation the order of the three trades is part of the project: first plasterboard mounted with hidden services and filled, then decorative finishes on the defined walls (microcement in bathroom, stucco on an accent wall), and finally perimeter paint on the remaining surfaces and enamel on carpentry. Bespoke carpentry is measured later, with the home finished, to absorb the real geometry of the opening.
