Specification for Jointing Materials for Plasterboard
Also Known As:
The BS 6214:1982 standard outlines the specific requirements for jointing compounds and tapes used in conjunction with tapered edge gypsum plasterboard. The standard aims to ensure that the jointing materials used in plasterboard installations meet certain quality and performance standards.
The standard specifies the characteristics and properties that jointing compounds and tapes must possess to ensure effective and durable jointing of plasterboard. It establishes requirements related to strength, workability, drying time, adhesion, and stability of the jointing materials. These requirements ensure that the jointing materials can effectively bond and seal the joints between plasterboards and maintain their structural integrity over time.
By adhering to the BS 6214:1982 standard, manufacturers, contractors, and suppliers can ensure the quality and compatibility of jointing materials used in plasterboard installations. This promotes consistency and reliability, ensuring that the joints in plasterboard systems are robust, durable, and able to withstand normal loading and environmental conditions. Ultimately, compliance with this standard helps to achieve high-quality plasterboard installations that meet the required performance standards.
