MEASURING & CUTTING

• 1.Start by measuring and marking the wall board for length.
• 2.Holding the T-square firmly along the mark, score through the board liner face with a trimming knife.
• 3.To complete the cut, lift the wall board and fold the offcut away from the scored face. Then run the trimming knife through the back liner paper at the fold.

TIP: MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE

To allow for doorways and windows: make the first cuts with a saw then the final cut with a knife.

To make openings for electrical wiring fixtures: measure and mark their location on the plasterboard sheet. Cut a small hole with a keyhole saw. For neat round holes, use a holesaw attached to your drill.

INSTALLING & FIXING

1. 1.Using the adhesive applicator, apply adhesive 'daubs' to the wall studs approximately 25mm wide and 15mm thick. Place adhesive daubs approximately 200mm apart and 200mm from sheet edges.
2. 2.Put a couple of small offcuts of plasterboard on the floor against the wall, to allow a 10 millimetre gap at the bottom of the sheet.
3. 3.Ensuring that the recessed edge side of the wall board sheet is facing OUT, position it lengthways across the studs and push firmly into position. Then place screws at each stud along the top edge.
4. 4.Next place screws every 300mm along the ends of the sheet and around openings. Remove the offcuts BEFORE fastening the bottom edge of the sheet.
