Board Buddy Combo Kit 2" Joist

Our best-selling Universal Board Hanger is now available with our new Over-Board Hanger as a great-value Combo Kit, allowing you to install plasterboards to both new and existing ceilings singlehandedly, all with just the one tool.

A standard 2400mm x 1200mm x 12.5mm sheet of plasterboard is a bulky and heavy (approx 25kg) item of building material that is used to close off ceilings when fixed to the joists or rafters. It would normally take two operatives to complete this difficult task and at the same time expose them to possible long-term neck and back injuries. This can be confirmed by speaking to any working or retired plasterer.

In older buildings it is often easier to over-board an existing ceiling compared to taking down the old plasterboards. This process involves installing new plasterboards to the existing plasterboard, however the task of getting the new plasterboards up and securely fixed to the existing ceiling has always been a labour-intensive two-man job – until now.

The use of the Board Buddy Hanger Kit makes this difficult task much easier – to the extent that the installation of plasterboards to ceilings can now be completed simply by one person with little or no risk of injury to themselves and in a fraction of the time it takes two operatives. The ceiling board hangers are made in England of high quality, heavy duty zinc-plated steel for strength and durability. They consist of two matching sets of clamps – two joist clamps and two plasterboard clamps – one set attaches to the joists and the other set attaches to the plasterboard. The pair connect and create a hinge that allows you to walk the board up to the ceiling and hold in place with a T-Bar.
