FLOOD RELIEF - PLASTERBOARD RECTIFICATION

Firstly, from the AWCI Members and Staff - Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the recent floods. Our industry will work with the community and authorities to help assess and rectify people’s homes as efficiently as possible.

Wall and Ceiling linings will be one of the most widely affected parts of the home or business and the AWCI Technical Committee has developed some guidelines to assist when considering what actions need to be taken to begin rectification.
