The Knauf Wallboard Tapered Edge Plasterboard is designed for professional builders and DIYers looking for a reliable, gypsum-based solution for interior partitions and ceilings. Its primary benefit is the tapered edge design, which streamlines the finishing process by creating a recessed space perfect for taping and jointing, resulting in a professional, seamless surface. While it provides an excellent base for decoration, users should note that the 12.5mm thickness is intended for standard lining applications and requires careful handling to avoid corner damage during transport.

Ensure the supporting studs are properly aligned and the board is securely fixed to prevent movement at the seam.
Check that the jointing tape is fully embedded in the recess and that you are using a wide enough trowel for a feathered finish.
Avoid sliding the boards against abrasive surfaces; lift them into place and ensure careful handling of the edges.
To ensure the best results, store these boards flat in a dry, indoor environment to prevent moisture absorption or edge warping. When mounting, ensure that the supporting frame is level, as the performance of the board depends on a flat substrate.
