Reasons Issues Occur with Gyprock Ceilings
Unfortunately, we have seen far too many gyprock ceilings installed incorrectly. Some ceiling contractor companies are in such a hurry to do a specific number of homes in a week, that they rush through this process. This is not something we believe in or do.
Of course, there are other reasons why you may start seeing issues with your gyprock ceilings. Those reasons include:
- Ceilings were Installed Using Outdated Standards and Codes – The AS/NZS standards do not change often, but they are updated as our knowledge grows. If your gyprock ceilings were installed many years ago, or the people you hired didn’t bother staying up to date with the standards, you will see many more problems with your ceilings than other people will.
- Fixings were Not Applied within the Standard Intervals
- Entire Stages of the Fixings Were Not Carried Out
