plaster boards

[GDS]

how thick you use for walls and ceillings? when should thermo boards be used? cheers lad

 

[spunkybum]

all depends on the building spec mate if there isnt one use 12.5mm on everything

 

[GDS]

just a domestic job mate 12.5 it is then cheers, is it true i need a fire proof board over lintel or what a bud?

 

[spunkybum]

only rsj's mate if youre dabbing concrete lintels gypbond them the day before and metal ones give them a quick tight coat of adhesive 20 mins before you dab them

 

[GDS]

dont think iv plastered on fire proof before do they suck the moistnes out of the plaster alot? or they just like the norm but fireproof i guessin they more expensive?

 

[GDS]

it is a rsj mate not a linthel i wil be boarding

 

[spunkybum]

no exactly the same mate the blue boards pull in a bit more but nothing extreme

 

[GDS]

thanks for your help

no worries mate........it could all be completely wrong and someone else might point you in the right direction, chosing boards are a mare, on one site you could have standard board on the ceiling then on an identical site you'd have firecheck which is why its nice when you get a spec .......i know it's domestic but i was told by a dryliner just to use standard

Not sure if its a new reg but the last couple of rsj's ive done ive been instructed by the building inspector to double skin them with fireline boards. The pictures I put in the pictures section I had to double skin and there were 6 in all, a rite pain in arse if you ask me.
