Plasterboard: reading a product description
Use a product description to identify the exact board and its intended application, then follow through to the current technical guide. Record the sheet type, dimensions and system references rather than treating all gypsum-based boards as the same product.
Define the selection
Confirm the application using the current manufacturer documentation. Keep the lining, framing, accessories and intended finish together in the specification so the material schedule can be checked as a whole.
Check before comparing products
- Product name and intended application.
- Sheet dimensions and edge type.
- Current system and installation documentation.
Build a material list that can be checked
Record the selected product name or SKU, each required size and the quantity for each work area. Use the actual listed coverage when estimating packs or boards, and confirm the allowance with your installer. Include compatible accessories and keep a copy of the agreed selections.
