How to Properly Fix Blue Board?
In this video we demonstrate how to quickly, easily fix Blue Board.
Tools and products you need:
- CW Super Premium Profile C5
- Blue Board TB 3.9x30 mm Super Premium Screw C5
- Drywall Screwdriver
Here are the steps we followed:
Boards should never touch the floor. Approximately 10 mm of gap should be left at the floor connection when fixing boards. Horizontal and vertical joints on opposite side of the partition should be staggered.
We attach the Blue Board to the construction made with vertical CW profiles. For best results and high durability against moisture, we recommend the use of the special Technogips Pro profiles with anti-corrosion coating – CW Super Premium Profile.
Always start fixing the plasterboard from one of the ends, never from the middle.
Using a drywall screwdriver, we screw the special anti-corrosive screws – Blue Board TB 3.9x30 mm Super Premium Screw. The screws must be fixed at a distance of 10 mm from the edges of the board. The screwdriver must be held perpendicular to the board, so that the angle between the board and the screw is 90 degrees. The screw head should penetrate 1 mm below the surface of the board, and the free end of the screw should enter at least 10 mm into the hollow space of the profile.
Repeat this action along the entire height of the board over an axial distance of max 150 mm. The vertical joints between the boards should be spaced at least 2 CW profiles axial distance.
Additional information:
Depending on the environmental conditions (possibility or presence of condensation in places with swimming pools, places with chemical pollutants, partition walls and linings near coastal areas or in industrial facilities, etc.) it is recommended to use special profiles and accessories reinforced with additional anti-corosion coating. Providing high level protection against corrosion guarantees that the metal stud frame of the system solution will remain unaffected by an aggressive environment for a long period of time.
The different classifications of profiles and accessories you can use are:
- Class C3-C4 - Spaces where condensation is frequent, with high levels of air pollutants caused by manufacturing processes, e.g. industrial facilities, places with swimming pools, public changing rooms and shower rooms.
- Class C5 - Buildings and areas subject to constant condensation, intense humidity and high levels of pollutants e.g. sea water or thermal baths.
