Minimum 9mm thick boards should fixed, textured side out. Supports should be maximum 400mm centres with cross noggins at transverse board joints. Seal the boards with PVA (Poly Vinyl Acetate adhesive). Countersunk corrosion resistant screws should be used to fix boards at 200mm centres. Fix tiles in strict accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations.


Any conventional paint can be used. Alkali resistant primers are not necessary for water based paints but are recommended for oil based paints. Water based paints (with a watered down first coat) or oil based paints can be applied to all products using proprietary primer/top coat systems as recommended by paint manufacturers. When papering MASTERBOARD®, size with diluted adhesive to seal against suction and improve slip, then hang papers or vinyl in the normal manner.
