Using damaged plasterboard


Recommended Posts

I have two sheets of plasterboard that snapped whilst being carried. They didn't get dropped, but the snap is straight across and the sheet folded to near right angle. I saw in the BG book it says not to use damaged sheets, but how do you feel about this? They are moisture resistant and for bathrooms where they will be over OSB.

 

On one sheet the crack is square to the edge of the sheet so much like how you'd join a sheet. On the other it's at a slight angle so may be no good. If using the one that's square, I could cut it clear and leave a small joint for the plaster skim.

Best practice states lots of things you shouldn’t do, but are done regularly.

an unsupported crack or fold wouldn’t be good, but over OSB I can’t see any problem unless it’s not getting skimmed.
