The Knauf Wallboard Square Edge Plasterboard is designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable, high-quality surface for interior partitions and ceilings. Its primary benefit is the 2700mm length, which significantly reduces the need for horizontal joints, resulting in a cleaner, smoother finish for walls and ceilings. While the square edge profile is excellent for direct decoration or skimming, users should note that it requires precise alignment and jointing techniques to ensure a seamless look compared to tapered edge alternatives.

This board is for general interior use. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms, you should use specialized moisture-resistant plasterboard.
Use a sharp utility knife to score the paper on one side, snap the board along the line, and cut the paper on the reverse side.
Yes, always apply a high-quality plasterboard primer or sealer to ensure even paint absorption.
They are typically fixed to stud work, but can be attached to masonry using the dot-and-dab method with appropriate drywall adhesive.
Due to the size (2700mm x 1200mm) and weight, it is highly recommended to have two people present for safe handling and placement.
Ensure the square edges are tightly butted together and use high-quality jointing tape to bridge the gap before applying compound.
Adjust your drill depth gauge to prevent over-driving the screws into the gypsum core.
For optimal results, ensure your timber or metal stud framework is spaced at a maximum of 600mm centers. Use appropriate dry-wall screws, ensuring the screw heads are driven just below the surface of the paper without breaking it. When transporting or storing, keep the boards flat and protected from moisture in a dry, indoor environment to prevent sagging or edge damage. If installing on ceilings, always use a mechanical board lifter or two people to prevent the board from snapping under its own weight during the lift.
