01 / What we build

What we build

Garnebo's drywall service covers non-load-bearing partitions, suspended ceilings, and bulkheads for residential and small commercial spaces in Bologna. We combine paired gypsum boards with high-density mineral wool insulation, so rooms gain real sound separation — not just cosmetic walls. Q4 finish is standard, not an upgrade.

  • Partition walls — single and double layer
  • False ceilings (controsoffitti ribassati)
  • Contropareti and wall niches
  • Walk-in closets and room dividers
  • Acoustic insulation backing — mineral wool
  • Thermal insulation for contropareti
  • Level 4 finish (Q4) — painting-ready
  • Access panels, corner bead and tape
02 / Where we stop

Where we stop

Garnebo never alters load-bearing structures in Bologna. All drywall work is limited to non-structural partitions and ceilings. Where projects involve recessed spotlights, LED strips, or additional sockets inside drywall, Garnebo coordinates with certified electricians under DM 37/2008 rather than running cables directly.

Yes, we do this

Non-structural partitions, false ceilings, contropareti, acoustic insulation, Q4 finish. DM 37/2008 electrical coordination with certified partners.

No, we refer you

Load-bearing walls, columns, slabs. Direct electrical or plumbing work inside cavities.

05 / The method

How we work

  1. 01

    Site survey and quote

    Garnebo visits your property, measures spans and heights, identifies acoustic and lighting needs, and issues a flat-rate quote for the complete drywall package.

  2. 02

    Material order and delivery

    Gypsum boards, metal profiles, mineral wool insulation, joint compound, and fasteners ordered in one batch. No mid-project material runs.

  3. 03

    Metal frame assembly

    Frames installed per plan, pre-planned services coordinated with certified electricians, cavities filled with acoustic insulation.

  4. 04

    Plasterboard installation and jointing

    Paired boards fixed, joints taped and compound applied, corner bead and access panels installed. Dust containment active throughout.

  5. 05

    Q4 finish and clean handover

    Full skim coating to Q4 level, surface sanded, site vacuumed and wiped down. Final walk-through before painter handover.

06 / Finish levels

Finish Levels Explained

Italian drywall finishing is graded Q2 through Q5. Garnebo delivers Q4 as standard — the difference is visible in critical lighting.

Q2 — Base finish

Joints taped, fasteners covered. Visible tape lines under side lighting. Acceptable for rough areas, garages, behind tiles.

Q3 — Standard finish

Light skim coat over joints and fasteners. Medium-quality for rental properties where wall lighting is indirect.

Q4 — Painting-ready (Garnebo standard)

Full skim coating across the entire surface. Ready for direct painting with critical lighting. No shadows, no tape lines, no painter surcharges.

07 / Soundproofing

Soundproofing and Insulation

In Bologna condominiums, noise between units and rooms causes daily tension. Garnebo designs assemblies targeting the frequencies of voices, TVs, and kitchen noise.

  • 01Dual gypsum boards with staggered seams — mass-loaded construction for sound reduction.
  • 02High-density mineral wool within the cavity — absorbs mid-frequency sound (voices, TV).
  • 03Acoustic sealant at perimeters — prevents flanking noise through frame contact.
  • 04Vapour barrier on external walls — thermal insulation for contropareti without condensation risk.

10 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01Can you hang heavy cabinets or TVs on drywall walls?
Yes, provided the structure is designed with reinforcements at the planning stage — additional framing or backing boards in the zones where cabinets or TVs will be fixed. Garnebo incorporates these into the project design and documents them for future reference.
02Will a drywall partition really reduce noise in my Bologna condo?
A standard single-layer wall offers limited acoustic benefit, but a properly designed assembly with dual boards and dense insulation significantly reduces sound transfer, especially in the speech frequency range. Garnebo's designs prioritise this acoustic performance, not just visual alignment.
03How long does a typical drywall project take in Bologna?
Because Garnebo works in dedicated sprints within the Bologna area, internal partitions and ceilings are usually completed within a compact, pre-agreed window — often days rather than weeks. Exact timing depends on size, complexity, and DM 37/2008 electrical coordination.
04Can Garnebo combine drywall and tile work in the same renovation?
Yes. Garnebo's service stack puts tile first and drywall second, making combined bathroom or open-plan reconfiguration projects a natural fit. The same project manager sequences demolition, dry construction, and tiling coherently.
05What is Q4 finish and why does it matter?
Q4 is full skim coating across the entire surface — painting-ready with critical lighting. Many drywall crews deliver Q2 (rough jointing) which forces your painter to charge extra for surface correction. Q4 is Garnebo's standard, not an upgrade.
06What's the difference between a controparete and a true partition?
A controparete is a thin wall built against an existing surface — ideal for adding insulation or hiding services. A true partition is a freestanding wall from floor to ceiling, creating a new room. Both are within Garnebo's scope, and we advise on which suits your Bologna layout.
07Can drywall work be done while I'm living in the apartment?
Yes for larger apartments where the work area can be isolated with dust sheeting. Garnebo's dust containment (plastic barriers, HEPA vacuum, daily cleaning) makes this practical. We decide at the walk-through and include logistics in the quote.
08Is there a minimum job size for drywall projects?
We do enforce a minimum engagement value to ensure the dedicated sprint model makes economic sense. This is discussed during the walk-through — the minimum is typically equivalent to a single partition wall or two smaller interventions.
