Future-proofing built in

Many a rule of thumb has started in the building trade and then gone on to wider usage measure twice, cut once' is just one that springs to mind.

Good preparation in conjunction with quality materials will always ensure a successful result, says Kevin van Hest, managing director with Elephant Plasterboard NZ Ltd.

"Elephant Plasterboard is a particularly smart option when choosing wall linings for your home, as it is around 8% denser than other locally produced or imported plasterboards. This means improved fire resistance and higher bracing ratings, along with greater noise control," says van Hest.

The density of Elephant Plasterboard products means they can withstand greater fluctuations in both temperature and humidity, reducing the likelihood of expansion and contraction the primary causes of peaking and cracking.

"Elephant Standard Plus Plasterboard has a 30-minute fire rating on internal timber walls, offering peace of mind as well as a quality finish," says van Hest.
