Plasterboard or wet plaster? In new builds and fast renovations, Rigips drylining wins the argument.
Rigips is a German brand with a long history in dry construction systems - plasterboard sheets, metal framing profiles, accessories. Across Central and Eastern Europe, Rigips is one of the reference brands in this segment.

At Colorista.md you'll find 10+ Rigips products. Standard plasterboard for walls and ceilings, moisture-resistant sheets (RB type), jointing compounds and accessories. For residential and commercial drylining work.

Why Rigips drylining over traditional plaster. Faster to install, lighter, hides services easily, simpler to repair later. Downsides: weaker sound insulation without filling the profile cavities, and less impact resistance than solid masonry. The choice depends on the application.

Wet rooms: standard grey plasterboard does NOT go in bathrooms or kitchens. Only moisture-resistant sheets (usually green or marked RB/H2). This mistake is common and expensive to fix afterwards.

Moisture-resistant sheets marked RB or GKBI - usually green. Standard grey plasterboard is not suitable for wet rooms. Check the board marking before installation.

Both are German brands with strong reputations in dry construction. Board quality difference is minimal on comparable products. Choice usually comes down to local availability and compatibility with the profiles you're already using.

Rigips compatible jointing compound or Knauf Fugen/Uniflott alternatives. Key is the technique: reinforcing tape in the joint, two coats of compound, sanding between coats.

Yes, Rigips has solutions for suspended ceilings. Board thickness and profile spacing need to be adapted for ceiling application - check manufacturer technical data.

Partition walls, suspended ceilings, bath surrounds (moisture-resistant boards), niches, decorative elements. Doesn't replace load-bearing walls. The metal framing must be installed correctly - everything depends on it.
