    Constant bead/ribbon/picture frame round perimeter and any wall penetrations for different reasons.
    1 Building Regs compliant.
    2 Fire break....fire safety, helps to reduce fast spread of fire up the wall.
    3 Airtightness...reduces draughts and makes building more energy efficient.
    4 Constant bead at the bottom supports the skirting board.
    It might look neat, but these methods are devised for a reason.
    One national builder had to go back on dozens of new builds because the picture frame method had not been used, there was a fire in one house and it had no fire break, burnt down. Etc. Minimises risk.

      From NHBC “installed with a continuous ribbon of adhesive to the perimeter of external walls, and around openings and services, to prevent air infiltration.” Even British gypsum say the same on the bag. Plaster board adhesive isn’t a fire barrier, a plastered wall/ceiling gives about 30-60 mins of protection it may slow fire but it won’t stop it.
      I remember an article a while back around house builder who hadn’t but in fire barriers, I don’t know if that’s what you were referring to, these are designed to slow down or stop the spread of fire from one building to another to allow people to get out.

      That's interesting. I watched one tutorial where the chap said it was to prevent flexing/subsequent cracking of the top skim. The wall he did in his video was also very out of square though as it was an older building, so he had to use a lot of compound to space the bottom.

    Would 9.5mm board be suitable for that wall?

    • @ryanseeley
      @ryanseeley  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd always tend towards using 12.5mm board rather than 9.5mm just because it's basically the same price and it's just far sturdier. That said if you need it 9.5mm for a specific reason such as limited space, it's fine to use.

      Thanks. Yes and no. If the wall is painted I'd dot and dab but also install some fixings to be safe.
      You can install some fixings into the wall before you board it. And leave the head of the fixing around 5mm proud, then your dots and dabs can be applied over the head of the screws, creating a mechanical key to the wall.

    I live in Australia but originally British. My old property is under renovation. Can you explain to my aussie husband why the Brits plaster skim the gyprock plaster board. It is regulations or just common practice. In Australia they tape up the plasterboard joints, fill and sand smooth and off we go to painting. Its been bugging him for years.

    • @ryanseeley
      @ryanseeley  ปีที่แล้ว

      We skim as an alternative to taping and filling the joints. The main reasons are durability, plus the increased fire and acoustic value. A skim finish is a superior finish to tape and jointing but much of the world, including some areas in the UK, choose to tape and joint the boards to save on cost and the higher skill level required to do the work.

    No insulation in the ceiling in 2021? And why no cavity closers?

    How many bags of P.adhesive were used to stick those 5ish plasterboards?

    • @ryanseeley

      About 2 - 2.5 in total

    I was always told plasterboard should run length ways because of its grain. That using it in upright position the plaster will crack eventually

    Do you PVA a painted wall? The paint used on the brick is not gloss or chaulky. I think it's acrylic

    If over 2.4 high, why didn't you just pack up more till the tops were tight, and then put the fillets in under the skirting line?

      Because then you would have to leave the wall to set before you could pull the packers out and replace with strips.

    Does that cable down to the wall box need metal capping before plastering, or is it low voltage/network/antenna? (I know squat, I'm just a DIY'er thats trying to learn by doing up my house!)

    • @ryanseeley
      @ryanseeley  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, so this is actually quite an interesting thing. The cable only requires capping if it runs outside of the prescribed routes.
      So as long and it runs horizontally or vertically (which it does in this case) from the socket, then you do NOT need to cap the cables.
      This at least applies to the UK as far as I am aware

    The advantage of solid dabbing - ie and unbroken line of adhesive around the board - is that it helps prevent convection/leakage of air! Ask me how I know... I'm having to go back and seal loads of leaks in my 20 year old home - leaks that have cost me a fortune in energy costs over the years.

      You are correct, I made this video before I was taught the correct industry way of doing it. I left it up as a way to show the basic principles but I am due an updated video. Thanks for your comment

  • @damianjones6546

    Very helpful video thanks guys. I'm going to be doing this in our basement soon. What would you say is the maximum depth of dab possible? There pipes that need be hidden.

    Hi guys, is it necessary to put drywall screws into plasterboard when it's brick wall?

    • @ryanseeley
      @ryanseeley  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Absolutely not, no screws required. 👍

    do you need to tape the joints prior to skimming?

      @ryanseeley  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, tape joints and then skim!
