We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Plasterboard",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Step-by-step guide to using natural finishes from
Green Books, which we summarised at the time by saying "Lime and clay based plasters, renders and paints: a practical guide to one of the oldest and most versatile building materials".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Knauf Drywall anti-waste initiatives from
Knauf Drywall: "Innovative design detailing and improved plasterboard waste management combine to generate significant building site savings and environmental benefits".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Knauf Drywall
concerning its Drylining solutions for Durham
- take a look at Knauf Drywall sounds scientific at University
which says: "Complex designs and strict acoustic requirements in Durham University's striking new Science lecture theatres called for 'scientific' drylining solutions, that take an unusual angle on installations".
Take a look also at the news release from Knauf Drywall, Mental health solutions show drywall versatility,
as well as Knauf Aquapanel for natural stone finishes from Knauf Drywall,
and Knauf Drywall puts green jargon into context from Knauf Drywall.
