Do you glue Aqualine Gib?
Because GIB Aqualine® is dimensionally stable and resistant to water damage, it is an ideal substrate for tiling in residential wet areas. Liquid applied water proof membranes and tile adhesives readily adhere to the GIB Aqualine® face liner and GIB® jointing compounds.
What is GIB Aqualine?
GIB Aqualine® features a water resistant core to help prevent steam and moisture penetration and is New Zealand’s number 1 tiling substrate used in bathrooms. Its fibreglass core gives added strength that easily supports the weight of tiles to provide a solid, stable backing.
Should you screw or nail plasterboard?
Use 38mm plasterboard screws to fix the board to the joists and noggings. Screws are a better bet than nails for renovation projects, where hammering can potentially disturb or damage the joists. Fixings should be made every 150mm.
How far apart should Gib screws be?
If end joints are required when fixing horizontally, these should be staggered a minimum of one stud apart, 600 mm. Stud spacing should be at a maximum of 600 mm. For older, existing homes stud spacing may require that GIB® plasterboard sheets be trimmed when fixing vertically.
What is Gib Aqualine made from?
Sustainability. GIB® plasterboard is made up of naturally occurring gypsum, 100% recycled paper, and a small quantity of other ingredients (which includes approved glues and additives required to improve the quality of the finished board).
What is ultraline Gib?
GIB Ultraline®’s special Pearlcoat coated white surface paper has a finer, smoother texture, and a special mix of plaster and fibreglass reinforcing in its core. The modified core provides density and rigidity whilst the smoother paper enhances the finish quality.
What is the difference between 1 GB of storage and 1 GIB of storage?
When purchasing disk drives, 1 GB is often defined as 1,000,000,000 bytes. GiB (Gibibytes) is a standard unit used in the field of data processing and transmission and is defined as base 1024 rather than base 1000. For example, 1 GB is defined as 1000³ bytes, whereas 1 GiB is defined as 1024³ bytes.
