plasterboard

Picture
Skinners proudly supplies CSR Gyprock plasterboard.  It is available for a wide range of general applications as well as specialty boards for acoustic, fire, wet area, impact and mould resistant systems. Gyprock also manufactures a complete range of environmental boards for Green Building projects.

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?

Picture
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.
