FAQs

What is the main advantage of this plasterboard over standard options?

The primary advantage is its enhanced acoustic performance, which helps to reduce sound transmission.

Can I use this plasterboard in a bathroom?

While resistant to rot, it is not designed for wet areas. It is best suited for general wall and ceiling applications in dry residential environments. For wet areas, specific moisture-resistant boards should be used.

What size are the boards?

The boards measure 2.4 meters x 1.2 meters x 12.5mm.

How do I achieve a seamless finish with square edge boards?

Achieving a seamless finish requires careful attention to jointing. Ensure edges are perfectly butted, use appropriate jointing tape, and apply multiple thin coats of jointing compound, sanding lightly between applications.

Is specialist equipment needed for cutting?

No, specialist equipment is not required. The boards can be efficiently cut using a standard utility knife and a straight edge.

What is the coverage per sheet?

Each sheet covers 2.88 square meters.

Can I directly paint onto this plasterboard?

Yes, after proper preparation and priming, the ivory paper face is suitable for direct decoration.

Troubleshooting

Board is difficult to cut cleanly.

Ensure you are using a sharp utility knife and have scored deeply enough. A second pass may be required for thicker boards.

Joints are not smooth after finishing.

Ensure edges are clean and free of debris before applying jointing compound. Use appropriate jointing tape and multiple thin coats of compound for a seamless finish.

Warping observed.

Check that boards are stored flat and kept dry. Ensure correct fixing methods and spacing are used during installation to provide adequate support.

Poor adhesion of plaster or paint.

Ensure the paper face is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before applying primer or finish. Use a suitable primer if required.
