15mm Siniat GTEC Moisture Board Jointing & Finishing

GTEC Moisture Board can be jointed and finished with GTEC Jointing systems. Boards should be primed with GTEC Universal Sealer prior to decorating and treated with PVA bonding agent before plastering.

It is also possible to apply paint directly to the surface of MR plasterboard and the water repellent liners but again, it must first be prepared with a plaster bonding agent in order for the paint to adhere to the surface. This is in accordance with the British Gypsum guidelines.
