Below you’ll find all of the information needed to complete wall lining, partition, floor and ceiling systems, no matter the size and complexity of the project specification.
Do I need timber noggings when boarding a ceiling and if so what is required?
This depends on a number of factors such as joist centres, board thickness, and performance requirements (e.g. vapour resistance and fire resistance performance).
Please refer to our White Book Specification Selectorfor more details. If noggings are required they are typically 38mm x 38mm or 50mm x 50mm timber, located between joists at the ceiling perimeter and to support the edges and/or ends of the plasterboard.
Can Gyproc plasterboard linings be used in swimming pools and commercial showers?
We have specific guidance for using our products in both ceilings and wall lining constructions in these special wet environments where attention to detail around the specification is critical.
A 25kg bag of Gyproc DriWall Adhesive is suitable for two 1200x2400mm plasterboards under normal use, however more adhesive will be required if the background is not plumb or straight.
What is the sound insulation performance of Gyproc plasterboard?
Gyproc plasterboard does not have stand alone sound insulation performance. However, data can be found in the White Book Specification Selector for its performance as part of a system.
How do you achieve a fire-rated timber stud partition?
Using different combinations of board and insulation, various system options are available with fire resistance periods of 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes. Use the Technical Enquiry Form in the Technical Support area of the website to request information for your specific requirements.
