Question 3

How does it improve acoustic performance?

Accepted Answer

The board is designed to optimize sound insulation by absorbing and dissipating sound within the wall assembly, helping to keep internal noise down and reduce transmission from outside environments.

Question 5

How do I install Gyproc SoundBloc Moisture Resistant Plasterboard?

Accepted Answer

General steps: prepare a clean, dry substrate; cut boards to fit; fix boards to studs with appropriate drywall screws, typically starting along the edges and spacing screws evenly; leave a small gap at joints; apply joint tape and plaster or joint compound; sand smooth; prime and finish with paint or tile as needed.

Question 6

What tools and materials will I need for installation?

Accepted Answer

You’ll typically need a utility knife or drywall saw, tape measure, straight edge, drywall screws, a drill/driver, joint tape, joint compound, sanding block or screen, primer, and paint or tile adhesive for finishing.
