FAQ
What makes this plasterboard 'premium'?+
Our premium plasterboard incorporates denser core materials and advanced manufacturing techniques, resulting in reduced shrinkage, improved dimensional stability, and enhanced resistance to cracking. This translates to fewer repairs and a smoother finish, particularly when compared to standard options.
Are these suitable for damp environments?+
While all our plasterboard is moisture-resistant, this premium range boasts significantly higher levels of protection against dampness due to its denser core. It's ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas exposed to humidity, though specialist breathable plasters should be considered.
What tools are recommended alongside these supplies?+
For best results, we recommend using a high-quality plastering hawk, trowel (3-4 inch wide), and a deep groove float. Ensuring your tools are sharp and appropriately sized will greatly contribute to the final finish.
Does this include any adhesive or fixing materials?+
This selection focuses on the plasterboard itself and associated tooling. We recommend using appropriate adhesive like Flexfix and fixings suitable for the wall type – consult our broader range for a comprehensive supply solution.
What is the typical thickness available?+
We offer this premium board in thicknesses ranging from 12mm to 25mm, allowing you to select the most appropriate option based on your project’s specific requirements and design. A thicker board offers greater strength for heavier applications.
How does shrinkage compare to standard plasterboard?+
Shrinkage in our premium plasterboard is consistently below 0.5%, significantly lower than typical standard plasterboard, minimizing the need for patching and ensuring a more durable surface.
Can I use this board with textured finishes?+
Yes, you can achieve textured finishes using this premium board, but we recommend utilising specialist texture rollers and techniques to ensure an authentic and consistent look. It's suitable for creating a variety of textures.
What is the shelf life of these products?+
When stored correctly in a dry environment, our plasterboard has an indefinite shelf life. However, we recommend checking for any signs of damage or deterioration before use.
