Description

When fixing this plasterboard, fit the boards with the decorative side out to receive a skim plaster finish or joint treatment. Gently butt the boards together but never force them into place. Install the fixings no closer than 10mm from bound edges and 13mm from cut edges. Eliminate paper burrs with fine sandpaper and position cut edges to the inside angles whenever achievable. By a minimum of 600mm between layers, stagger vertical and horizontal board joints. Locate the board to the middle line of framing where this supports board ends or edges.

The blue face of this Gyproc SoundBloc can be plastered with either Thistle Board Finish or Thistle MultiFinish. There should be a minimum delay between completing the lining and starting plastering. The Gyproc jointing materials deliver a robust joint reinforcement and a constant, crack-resistant, sleek surface that is ready for preparatory work and the finishing decorative touches. Multiple joint specifications are available to suit the method of application, site preference and board type. After the joint treatment has dried, priming and the final decoration should follow as quickly as possible.

This Gyproc SoundBloc plasterboard can be cut by scoring with a sharp knife and snapping the board over a straight edge or with the use of a plasterboard saw. With a sharp knife or utility saw, holes for socket or switch boxes should be cut out before fixing the boards.

Questions & Answers

Question:

Is this product suitable to use to form ceilings? I would like to replace my exisitng plasterboard suspended ceiling with this, and fill the shallow void above (between the soundbloc plasterboard and the concrete floor-slab of the flat above) with Rockwool).

Answer:

The product is suitable to be used in ceiling applications like traditional plasterboard.

Question:

Would this product effectively sound proof a room if used on its own or would it just reduce sound.

Answer:

For an Acoustic based Plasterboard, this would only help reduce the amount of noise heard. For better results, you would use this in conjunction with other sound reduction products. If you are looking to sound-proof an area, you would need to enlist the help of a specialist.
