Browse Forums Windows & Doors 1 Apr 09, 2024 8:49 pm I had new PVC windows fitted but i refused to have any timber surrounds. After browsing the internet, most suggestions are to use plasterboard - But now it has been pointed out that any moisture getting to the plasterboard maybe thru the cavities is not healthy so i would like to ask for advice on what i should use/do? There are also suggestions to use insulated cavity closers, but i cant see how i would fit them as the windows are attached to the outside wall (double-brick). I don't want to use wood anywhere - Can i use PVC or something moisture resistant instead of the plasterboard? As always, your help is massively appreciated and my hurting head will be forever thankful [img=16x16]https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@E4F784F23253F3B9EB3BBEAFCB954127/emoticons/1f64f.png[/img][img=16x16]https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@E4F784F23253F3B9EB3BBEAFCB954127/emoticons/1f64f.png[/img][img=16x16]https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@172F3ECC1E73CC85DDD794B55C84E1CD/emoticons/1f601.png[/img] Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Can you use plasterboard for window jambs, reveals, sill 2Apr 12, 2024 12:07 pm Plasterboard Gyprock is very popular as a reveal liner these days. You need to provide a way of supporting it, we use a modified timber reveal or bracket. You will be governed by the alignment of the sheeted wall and window jamb. I see you have a foam filled join between jamb and wall, that should be a good enough barrier, though I don't think you have met the building code until you provide moisture control. You can also check out EzyReveal. "ECOECO" At 'EcoEco', we design windows, we design the best windows, we do it for you, so that when youβre happy we are happy. Tel. 1800 326 326 Hi Thankyou Yes he shld of done it from the inside before the frames and wall lining went in Won't make any difference ok π Will take your ad advice Thankyou… 4 10048 What we have done in a few theatres ( including my own) is run 2 layers of 13mm gyprock, but sounds insulation especially for the bass is really tricky as a lot of that… 4 9732 0 8885 |
