ashthekid Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Am I correct in assuming that if you timber batten 25mm over insulation PIR board and then apply the plasterboard to those battens you stop the possibility of nail/screw popping on the inside of the plasterboard coming through the plaster?

ProDave Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Don't use nails, so yesterday, use bugle headed plasterboard screws. It is the flatness and soundness of what you are fixing to that gives good results. If your wall is not straight and your screw is forcing the plasterboard to pull in up to the batten then like a big spring it will be trying to pull the board straight again and that is when screw pop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
