The continuity of the plasterboard and supporting structure
should be broken by movement control joints:
1. Where the ceiling runs 10m or more in any direction
2. Where the ceiling crosses structural movement joints
Movement joints running parallel to the
Corridor Span T
Leave a 12.5mm gap in the runs of the GTEC T-Bar Corridor
Span T as wide as the movement joint.

Synia - The new plasterboard innovation from Lafarge.
Synia is a unique plasterboard design from Lafarge that
provides the ultimate flat ceiling in drylining.
Traditionally, drylining plasterboards are manufactured with
2 tapered edges in order to create a seamless finish when
jointed. For ceilings this has presented installers with the
problem of extra planing, labour costs and time for the
cut ends.
Synia has been created with a unique edge design which,
once fixed, reveals a 4 tapered edge for jointing. This offers
the installer a faster, easier solution, resulting in the ultimate
flat ceiling.
