Looking After Your Plasterboards
When handling and storing plasterboard on a building site, there are several steps you can take to keep them in great condition:
- Store Flat: Always lay plasterboards flat to avoid bending or warping. Use a clean, dry surface or wooden pallets to prevent moisture absorption.
- Keep Dry: Protect plasterboards from moisture and rain. Use waterproof covers if outdoor storage is necessary, ensuring they're secure but allow airflow to prevent condensation.
- Handle with Care: Avoid impacts during handling. Carry plasterboard on its edge and use two people for larger sheets to prevent damage.
- Stack Smart: Do not stack too high. Limit stacks to prevent crushing lower sheets, and ensure the stack is stable.
- Avoid Direct Ground Contact: Elevate plasterboards off the ground to protect them from dampness, dirt, and potential water damage.
- Sunlight Exposure: Minimize exposure to direct sunlight to prevent warping and degradation of the material.
