<p>A spacing means for attaching a drywall panel to a wall allows lateral, but not normal movement between the wall and the drywall panel. This allows drywall panels to be attached to internal faces of structural wails repaired following subsidence damage whilst further settlement of the structural wall is still happening. The spacing means take up the relative movement arising from post-repair settlement such that cracking and damage to the drywall is minimised. The spacer may be fitted in an aperture of the plasterboard panel and may comprise two parts, such as a collar fitted into the board aperture and a fixing part which fits inside the collar with play.</p> |
