EcoLiner Thermal Laminates Installation
Another important benefit of EcoTherm EcoLiner plasterboards is the fact that they are very easy to install and are practically maintenance-free, since if properly installed, with the given instructions, the boards can have indefinite lifetime.
Since the boards can be installed by applying both dot and dab installation method and via mechanical fixing, the installation shall depend on the chosen method. If you have opted for dot and dab installation, the first important thing is to use appropriate gypsum adhesive, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. In order of tightly plumbing the boards onto the wall and providing a continuous layer of insulation, the adhesive needs to be properly added to both wall surface and around openings (such as window openings or electrical sockets). The adhesive should be applied around openings in at least 50mm wide ribbons and onto the wall in three vertical rows and as continuous beads at top and bottom. Once the boards are aligned and the adhesive has had time to set, additional support should be installed that is nailable plugs that are installed with at least 25mm depth and at least two per board.
If EcoTherm EcoLiner boards are installed onto a block or solid wall, through timber battens or timber frame on the inside, with either metal or timber framing system. Here, 50mm wide and 25mm deep battens are installed at ceiling and above the floor level, at 600mm centres. The boards are installed with appropriate drywall screws which should penetrate the timber 25mm deep, at least 10mm from the edge, at 150mm centres. Finally, screw heads are driven below the surface. Please note that when the boards are installed under the rafters, insulated plasterboards should be supported on all four edges and at right angles to the rafters, why the noggins must be used across the rafters.
