FAQs

What is the primary use of Gyproc Handiboard?

Gyproc Handiboard is primarily used for interior walls and ceilings, providing a smooth surface for painting, tiling, or plaster finishes.

What are the dimensions of the board?

The board measures 900mm in width and 1220mm in length, with a thickness of 9.5mm.

What is the advantage of square edges?

Square edges are designed for seamless joints, providing a professional and clean finish to your walls or ceilings.

Can I directly paint on Gyproc Handiboard?

Yes, Gyproc Handiboard is suitable for direct decoration, which means you can paint directly on the surface after jointing and sanding.

What type of screws should I use?

Use drywall screws specifically designed for plasterboard installation. Ensure the screws are long enough to penetrate the framing behind the board.

Can it be used in bathrooms?

While suitable for most interior applications, consider moisture-resistant boards for areas with high humidity like bathrooms. Ensure proper ventilation and sealing.

How do I cut the plasterboard?

Use a utility knife to score along the desired line and then snap the board. Alternatively, use a plasterboard saw for cleaner cuts.

What is the meaning of controlled suction?

Controlled suction makes for easier skimming or other decoration processes, ensuring a smoother application of plaster or other finishes.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty in achieving smooth joints.

Ensure proper alignment of the square edges during installation and apply jointing compound evenly. Use joint tape for added strength and smooth finish.

Damage to the board during handling.

Handle the boards carefully to prevent dents or edge damage. Use appropriate tools and techniques when cutting and installing the boards.

Uneven surface after jointing.

Ensure proper sanding of the jointing compound after it dries. Use a fine-grit sandpaper and smooth the surface before painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the area is clean and free of debris. Measure and cut the plasterboard to fit your needs.
  2. Installation: Fix the boards to the wall or ceiling frame using appropriate screws or fixings, ensuring the square edges align for seamless joints.
  3. Jointing: Apply jointing compound to the joints and embed joint tape for added strength. Smooth the compound with a taping knife.
