I'm confused, I'd like to know if & where or what the Building Regs are applying a continuous bead of Dot n Dab Adhesive when fixing plasterboard to walls ?
I have built a single story pitch roof kitchen extension and am now at the stage where I want to dot n dab the thermalite walls with 12mm straight edge Gyproc plasterboard before getting a plasterer in to apply the board finish.
So far I have seen / read the following comments on the i*net:
Can anyone clarify for me, thanks

So far I have seen / read the following comments on the i*net:
- Continuous beads only needed if its an outside wall
- Only required if there is a room above
- Put a bead around all 4 sides of every board, 25mm in from the board edge
- Put a bead across the top only on every board
- Put a bead across the bottom only on every board
- Put a bead across the top & the bottom only on every board
- No continuous beads are required
- On a 2400 x 1200 12mm board put adhesive blobs 3 across and 7 down
- On a 2400 x 1200 12mm board put adhesive blobs 4 across and 8 down
Can anyone clarify for me, thanks
