plasterboard alternative?

[Frogslegs]

Did intend plasteboarding the ceiling in between the beams which do take for ever when you have to scribe in! Is there an alternative. Please do not suggest lambris or polystyrene tiles!!

Have seen rolls of some sort of fibre glass which I assume you paint over but not familiar with.

thanks

The alternative might be to cut the plaserboard straight and fill any gaps with expanding foam, then plaster skim. There is no quick solution to a good finish.

The fibre glass is not unlike a wall paper, it is for smooth surfaces and there is a version that is specially for ceilings. However, if you want to cover what is usually the floor boards from the floor above I do not think it would be suitable.

A friend had plaster board put up and the chap put up an edging strip that covered any gaps, painted to the same colour as the beams.
