  • Timber Support
    To connect to timber use 40 mm plasterer’s nails or staples at 100 mm centers. Start at the center of the sheet and work out towards the edges. Always fix at an angle to allow lath to be pulled tight. Ensure that compatible corrosion resistant fixings are used. do not use galvanized fixings with stainless products.
  • Metal Support
    To fix to steel channels, tie with 1.2 mm tying wire at 100 mm centers. Tie by creating a "hairpin" shape with the wire, then pull tight and twist. Take care that cut wire ends are not close to plaster surface.
