HOW IS IT MADE
Plasterboard, or drywall as it is called in some parts of the world, is a machine made sheet comprised of a gypsum core wrapped in a heavy-duty liner paper.
The core is made by first mixing gypsum, a non-toxic sedimentary rock, with a foaming agent to create a wet plaster mix. This plaster is applied onto a sheet of thick paper and the side edges of the paper are wrapped around the plaster. Another sheet of linerboard paper is applied over the top to create a plaster ‘sandwich’ which is oven dried before being cut to length, ready for use. The final plasterboard sheet has two long edges that are paper-wrapped and two cut edges. Gyprock manufactures in Australia to AS2588 – Gypsum Plasterboard. The paper used in Gyprock plasterboard is 100% recycled and through continual innovation such as Gyprock reCore™ technology, plasterboard with high levels of recycled core content is able to be produced. The Gyprock standard and speciality plasterboard ranges have been formally accredited by Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA). |
HOW IS PLASTERBOARD INSTALLED?

Gyprock plasterboard sheets are fixed to timber or steel frames using Gyprock Acrylic Stud Adhesive and plasterboard screws or nails.
The joints are concealed with a tape and jointing compound system, then sanded ready for painting or decorating.
Video tutorials on the installation of Gyprock plasterboard can be found under the Tips & Techniques tab.
