Thank you - much appreciated.

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.

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'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.

Nice video lads, explains well! I need to re dot and dab some walls our builders messed up and this will help! Think I’ll start on the smaller manageable bits first 😂

I thought I need a solid bead all around the whole wall and around the socket boxes and any vents for fire protection and dabs everywhere else or is the beading just for new properties that are pressure tested.

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

It keeps the walls separate from the floor. They are removed after the walls are stuck solid. That way if the floor ever floods or has a damp problem or someone has a spill. The moisture won't be able to climb the walls.

I thought the continuous solid boarder was fire code to prevent fire travelling behind the board to the ceiling joists? Also I read that mechacal fixings were required to hold the boards to the wall in the event of a fire. Apparently there's been many cases of people being trapped by falling boards when the paper backing burns. This is only what I've read and do myself when renovating my own houses.

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.

@ryanseeley

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.

nice neat job lads however that was just dabbing dots involve levelling the wall like in old buildings where the walls lean in or out or are twisted in some way
