Services Offered By Plasterboard Professionals
Many plasterboard installers will be able to supply, fix and stop your GIB®. Others will only supply and install it, referring you to a plasterer for GIB® stopping. When you list your plasterboard job with us, be specific and state if it requires fixing, stopping or both. That way you will receive accurate quotes from the best tradespeople for your job.
Plasterboard Fixing
New commercial and residential properties will need plasterboard fixing. It is used to cover exposed wiring and installation and give a smooth wall over the framing. Properties being renovated will often have the GIB® replaced. It can be easier to start with fresh plasterboard than to try to repair and plaster the old.
Bathrooms and kitchens can be steamy areas, requiring different plasterboard than your bedroom needs. Your plasterboard professional from Glen Eden, Henderson or from within Auckland’s CBD, will be able to explain which plasterboard type you should use. They are also able to choose the right size board for your job, ensuring your walls are smooth and flat. If you have noisy neighbours or need fire retardant plasterboard, they can help you with that too.
New homes are being designed with plasterboard as a major structural component. Many different kinds of bracing units are being included on building plans. Each of these bracing units requires a specific type of plasterboard installed. Our local Auckland plasterboard professionals can do this, providing you with flat and gap free walls for painting or wallpapering.
Plasterboard Stopping
GIB® stopping can be done on new and existing plasterboard. New plasterboard will need plaster over the screws used during fixing, as well as tape and plaster over any joins. Existing plasterboard needs stopping to repair any damage or to create a smooth painting surface. Your local Auckland GIB® stopper will also be able to create plastering effects, such as stippling or stucco work. Asking for advice on new plastering trends is a smart idea before requesting a specific finish. What is fashionable today may not be next year and it is an expensive lesson to learn.
