Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the supporting framework—whether timber or metal studs—is perfectly level and spaced at a maximum of 600mm centers. When cutting the boards, use a sharp utility knife to score the paper face and snap the gypsum core cleanly. Secure the boards using recommended drywall screws, ensuring they are driven just below the paper surface without piercing it. Store boards flat in a dry, ventilated area, elevated off the ground to prevent moisture absorption, which can compromise the board's integrity. Always check your local building control requirements if you are installing these boards as part of a fire-rated assembly.
