So overall just like dry lining with plasterboard. Dry lining done properly has zero issue with knocks or bangs or scruffs. Personally I am not sure I would use anything else other than plasterboard.

 

FYi Europe tends to use plaster made out of nothing

If you put THAT over plasterboard it offers about as much resistance to knocks as a layer of emulsion.

 

If you put UK plaster (brown multifinish etc)  over plasterboard then it spreads the load and offers real protection against knocks.

 

If you put the Euro nothing plaster over fermacell then it is also resistant against knocks - but only if thin enough that the layer of plaster doesn't "smoosh" so to speak.

 

Been there made that mistake. 😉
