It is time Perth moved away from plaster set walls. And double brick for that matter. For the life of me I can't work out why it should be an upgrade. Had 3 builders price our build and only 1 would even consider it. Blueprint will do it as standard. Alcocks and Content wouldn't. Agreed We had our house built by Alcock. Paid a premium price and ended up with walls that look like they've been plastered by a 3 year old. Even found some handprints in one wall. Cracks in the same places as the seasons come and go which need fixing every year. Wall in the entry that faces onto the garage was done with plasterboard - the only wall in the house where we don't have cracking and where there's a perfectly smooth finish. Re: Drywall (summit superwall) VS white set plaster wall 20Jun 12, 2020 1:55 pm alexp79 Doozer1905 I have never heard of a wall collapsing in a residential build in the last 20 years without other factors influencing why the wall came down. So on average 15,000 new homes in WA a year and basically no failures, there could be some but it would be extremely rare, you are using it as a reason to not dryline so it's not an argument with logic. Plasterboard is a superior finish, thats not my opinion thats fact and you will still get cracking lines in plasterboard if there is some type of structural issue. Float and Set covers up bad brickwork and you also have the inherent problems with delamination from the brickwork, painting issues and cornice cracking thus why such a high rate of building commissions complaints (over half) which saw them do a complete investigation into float and set some years ago. I would argue that plasterboard is more superior finish as you probably haven't seen how properly plastered gypsum wall (which is primed twice and grouted after rendering) looks like when comparing to gyprock, even if gyprock is completely primed to level 5 finish, it won't be nearly close. The only reason why gyprock is more commonly used is lack of quality tradies, although modern plastering technologies including machines and equipment almost completely address this problem (a team of 4 can plaster up to 120 sqm a day with very consistent quality). Technologies evolve and plastering today and plastering 20 years ago are 2 different stories. Trouble is in WA the builders don't use equipment. It's a couple of guys slapping stuff onto the walls and then waving a trowel at it. Possibly if the builders used good tradies, instead of the cheapest they can find, and the correct gear Plastering might be better but until they do plasterboard is a better bet. Thank you so much. This has been very helpful. We definitely wish to settle and get these people out of our life.
