Some basic plasterboard questions
Having started plasterboarding today I've realised I have some fairly basic questions.
I understand it's good practice to avoid lining up board edges with the edges of openings- much as you would do with the frame sheathing. But I can't do this unless I cut a board in half lengthways. Is it really a good idea to add an extra floor to ceiling butt joint (and a messy cut edge meets tapered edge joint, at that) just to avoid having a tiny joint above a door??
Secondly, how i
why are you using tapered boards? are you going to dry line it or plaster it/
if you are plastering no need for tapered boards,
you shouldnt usually have a cut edge meet a tapered board, put the cuts to the corners/walls,
mark out the walls and start in the middle-ish if you really need to to avoid having any cuts in line with the openings [but tbh, its not a big issue if you use decent tape] , that way all your cut boards will be in the corners, remember and stagger the joints
