PLASTERBOARD JOINS

[Bahco]

I have chased pipes into wall and will be screwing plasterboard to cover the chase and having it plastered.

I will be taping the joins but I need to know is how big can the gaps between new and old boards be.

Thanks

keep them as small as you can, if they are a little to wide the plasterer will just pre fill them.

 

[noseall]

they could be half as wide as the scrim tape but you would not deliberately make them this wide.

as stated, try and avoid too large a gap.

Thanks lads and will bear your advice on board.

The plasterer is coming on Tue.
