Knauf Wallboard Plasterboard 12.5mm Square Edge 2700mm x 1200mm - Knauf Drywall - 243657

The 2700mm length significantly reduces or eliminates the need for horizontal joints in standard-height rooms, leading to faster installation and a more uniform finish.

Square edge boards are ideal for applications where boards butt directly together, such as for textured finishes, direct decoration, or traditional jointing and plaster skim methods.

12.5mm is the industry standard and provides reliable strength for most partitions and wall linings. For specific applications requiring higher impact resistance or fire ratings, thicker boards may be necessary.

Boards should be stored flat in a dry, protected area, away from moisture and extreme temperatures, to prevent warping or damage.

While suitable for general wall linings, this standard plasterboard is not inherently moisture-resistant. For wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens, consider moisture-resistant plasterboard options.

Ensure boards are tightly butted. Use appropriate jointing tape and compound, applying multiple thin coats and sanding between layers for a seamless transition.

Ensure you are using a sharp utility knife and scoring deeply along a straight edge. For thicker boards, a second score might be necessary.

Ensure framing is straight and boards are butted tightly. Use appropriate jointing tape and compound to fill any minor gaps.

Adjust screw gun depth setting. Ensure screws are driven just below the paper surface without tearing it.

Check for adequate framing support and proper screw fixing. Ensure jointing tape is embedded correctly. Check for substrate movement or excessive moisture.
