Title: Installing plasterboard to ceiling
Post by nyck on Jan 25th, 2005, 11:49pm

Do you stagger the joints on like brick work or have all the joints in line?

Does it matter if its tappered or square edge plasterboard.

thanks nyck

Staggered joints and tapered edges, 34mm screws and not not galvo nails is best. are you skimming or tapeing?

Skimming

also Is Knauf Moistureshield Ok to use as there is a place near me selling it £3-4 a sheet.Just worried as it's moisture protect the plaster won't stick as well.

thanks for the help
