Recess heads of drywall screws below surface of plasterboard but do not break paper or gypsum core.

Double Layer

Inner layer of plasterboard must be fixed at 230mm maximum centres within the body and 150mm around the perimeter of the board. The outer layer must be fixed at 300mm maximum centres within the body and perimeter.

Plasterboard joints on the outer layer must be staggered compared to the inner layer.

Position drywall screws not less than 10mm from the bound edge of the board and 13mm from any cut edge. Ensure a minimum of 10mm penetration into the WL507.
