Fibrous Plastering
At PBF, we specialise in fibrous plastering, an age-old technique that delivers both structural stability and aesthetic elegance. Fibrous plaster is created using plaster of Paris sheets reinforced with fibres, providing a durable and versatile material that has been a staple in New Zealand construction since as early as 1906. Unlike GIB® plasterboard, fibrous plaster has a consistent material composition on both its surface and joints, allowing for a seamless finish across large areas.

Fibrous plaster was the preferred material for ceilings in New Zealand until the 1960s and 1970s, thanks to its ability to conceal joins and create a flawless appearance over large surfaces. Even today, many professionals and homeowners consider fibrous plaster a superior material due to its stability and premium finish, making it a popular choice for high-end homes and restoration projects.
Why Choose Fibrous Plaster?
Fibrous plaster offers several advantages over modern alternatives, especially when it comes to ceiling installations and decorative elements. Its stability is ensured by the unique method of attaching plaster sheets to ceiling battens, where fibres and plaster are looped around the battens to create a solid and enduring bond. This construction method has proven its durability for over a century, making fibrous plaster a trusted material in both new builds and restoration projects.
Fibrous plaster also includes a range of decorative options, such as:
These elements add character and elegance to any space, making fibrous plaster a premium choice for both residential and commercial properties.
