GIB REPAIR AUCKLAND

GIB repair and patching

LEVEL 4 VS LEVEL 5

Level 4 vs Level 5

The finish level of your plasterboard can noticeably affect the appearance of painted walls and ceilings. Level 4 and Level 5 finishes serve different purposes, depending on the room, lighting and desired result.

Level 4 plastering is commonly used for standard residential interiors. Joints, fasteners and corners are stopped and finished to provide a suitable surface for many conventional paint systems under normal lighting conditions.

Level 5 plastering adds a skim coat or approved equivalent treatment across the entire plasterboard surface. This reduces visible differences between the board and joint compound, particularly under critical lighting or with certain paint finishes.

  • Level 4 for standard interior walls and ceilings
  • Level 5 for areas with strong directional lighting
  • Level 5 for prominent feature walls and entrances
  • Level 5 for selected architectural and high-end interiors

We’ll help you choose the appropriate level based on your lighting, paint selection and expectations.

No. Level 4 suits many residential spaces. Level 5 may be recommended where lighting conditions or the selected paint finish make surface variations more noticeable.
