This plasterboard offers enhanced acoustic performance compared to standard alternatives, which can contribute to reducing noise transmission between rooms.

Ensure you are using a sharp utility knife and scoring deeply along the line. If using a dull blade, replace it for a cleaner cut.

Check that boards were stored flat and protected from moisture before installation. Ensure proper fixing at regular intervals to maintain flatness.

The surface may not have been adequately sealed. Ensure a coat of plasterboard sealer is applied and fully dried before decoration.
