12.5mm Knauf Wallboard Plasterboard Storage & Handling 

The boards must be stored flat, and be protected from inclement weather. 

If you need to store 12.5mm Knauf Wallboard Plasterboards for a while before installation, you should choose a cool, dry space.

Our rule of thumb when it comes to storage is that the boards should not be stored on the ground. Instead, pop them on a level surface and under a protective cover, just for good measure.
