FAQs

What type of screws should I use?

Use drywall screws specifically designed for plasterboard. Ensure the length of the screws is appropriate for the thickness of the board and the underlying structure.

Can I use this plasterboard in a bathroom?

While Gyproc Standard Plasterboard can be used in bathrooms, it is better to use moisture-resistant plasterboard for areas prone to high humidity and water exposure.

How do I cut the plasterboard?

Use a sharp utility knife to score the surface along the desired line, then snap the board along the score. You can also use a plasterboard saw.

What is the purpose of the tapered edges?

The tapered edges allow for easy jointing using jointing tape and compound, creating a seamless finish.

How should I store the plasterboard?

Store the plasterboard flat in a dry, protected area. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the boards.

Can I directly tile onto this plasterboard?

While you can tile onto Gyproc Standard Plasterboard, it's recommended to use a tile backer board or a moisture-resistant plasterboard in wet areas.

Troubleshooting

Cracking at joints after installation.

Ensure that the jointing compound has fully dried and been properly sanded. Check for any movement in the underlying structure which may be causing the cracks. Re-apply jointing compound if necessary.

Difficulty in screwing into the plasterboard.

Ensure you are using the correct drywall screws and that they are penetrating the board at the correct angle. If the board is breaking, try pre-drilling pilot holes.

Uneven surface after decoration.

Ensure the surface is smooth before painting. Sand any imperfections, and apply a primer before painting to ensure an even finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: Install using appropriate drywall screws, ensuring they are the correct length for the board's thickness and the underlying structure. Space the screws according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
  2. Jointing: Use jointing tape and compound to fill and smooth the joints between the boards. Allow the compound to dry completely before sanding and painting.
  3. Compatibility: Compatible with most paints, wallpapers, and plaster finishes. Ensure that any fixings used are suitable for plasterboard.
  4. Care: Avoid excessive moisture exposure. Protect the boards from impact damage during and after installation. If the plasterboard gets wet, allow it to dry completely before applying any finish.
