There are three types of Lafarge Plasterboard available from Lafarge Gypsum: Standard, Fire Resistant and Moisture Resistant.

Lafarge Standard Plasterboards are exceptionally versatile andlightweight. They can be used for domestic and commercial ceilingapplications as well as walling/partitioning applications. LafargePlasterboard is also used to make prefabricated bulkheads, curvedceilings (barrel) and radiused walls among other innovativeapplications.LafargePlasterboardisadurable,versatileproductthatiscleanandrecyclable.

Apply sufficient Lafarge Jointing Plaster over the screw head to achieve a smooth surface. Allow 30 minutes for the plaster to set. Apply the second coat (if required) and leave it for 2 hours. Smooth with sand paper.

EXTERNAL CORNER CONCEALING FOR PARTITIONSA corner bead is used for reinforcing the corner of a LafargePlasterboard partition.1. Cut the corner bead to the same length as the partition

height.2. Attach it to both sides of the corner.3. Fix 25mm Drywall Screws along the corner bead at every

100mm interval on both sides.4. Conceal both sides of the corner bead with Lafarge

Jointing Plaster approximately 3mm thick. Leave for 70 minutes to set.

5. Apply the second coating about 300mm wide from the corner edge.

6. Allow 24 hours after second coating, smooth with 80 grit sandpaper.

CUTTING LAFARGE PLASTERBOARDLafarge Plasterboard has a unique snap-effect which allows for easy cutting of the board and can be cut by using two methods.Using a sharp cutter1. Draw a line on the board.2. Cut the board by first scoring on the face side through the

paper to the core (a straight edge helps).3. The board is then snapped back away from the cut face.4. The back paper can be broken by snapping the board in

the opposite direction, or by scoring with a utility knife.5. Sand all cut edges.

Using a saw1. Draw a line on the board.2. Saw the board by a fine tooth saw.3. Sand all cut edges.
