Benefits of Gyprock plasterboards

When building or remodelling your home, you will deal with temporary aspects of your home such as the paint to use, the fixtures to use, window and door treatments and so on. However, you will have to make decisions regarding the permanent aspects such as the walls, the ceiling, and the roof as well. While temporary elements can be easily changed or replaced when you grow tired of them, you will have to grapple with permanent building decisions if you make the wrong choice, or spend a fortune correcting the mistake.

It is, therefore, critical that you take your time so that you make the right choice especially when it comes to the type of construction material to use on your walls and ceiling. Gyprock is a form of drywall that is made of calcined gypsum that has been mixed with water to create a core material. It can be used to on the interior walls, or on the ceiling. Below are reasons why should consider using gyprock plasterboards.

Installation

The process of installing the Gyprock plasterboards is much faster compared to traditional plasters. In a typical installation process, the boards are cut and trimmed so that they may fit the shape of your walls. Afterwards, they are secured to the framing of the house (whether on the walls or ceiling) and fastened with corner beads before fibreglass beads are added after which a three-layer compound is added. It is a very quick process. It is also cheap regarding labour since it is not a labour-intensive process. 

Durability

One of the biggest concerns that homeowners and commercial building owners have is that drywall plasterboards are prone to damage when exposed to water or high humidity, therefore affecting their durability. However, Gyprock plasterboards are designed to suit different environments. For instance, if you live in a relatively dry area where humidity or chances of water reaching the plasterboard are minimal, then the Gyprock Plus solution is the best. 

However, if you are concerned that moisture may get in contact with the plasterboard, then the Gyprock Aqauchek range of products such as Gyprock Sensitive may be the best option. Either way, the range of products ensures that you will get a product that best fits your environment, therefore ensuring durability. They also have fire-resistant features due to the water in the beads.

Physical appearance

When you have hired a competent installer, the overall appearance of the wall or ceiling will be very appealing. Also, you can colour the walls to suit your specific needs.
