Board Aid supports plasterboard in position while it is being fixed to the ceiling.
A new British-designed tool has been launched to make fitting plasterboard ceilings easier, quicker and less physically demanding for both trade professionals and DIY users.
Board Aid is a compact plasterboard support tool designed to temporarily hold plasterboard in position against ceiling joists, providing support while the board is positioned and fixed.
Developed in response to the difficulties of handling and fixing plasterboard overhead, Board Aid offers a simple and practical solution for professional tradespeople and DIY users alike.
Compact enough to keep in a toolbox or van, Board Aid has been designed with simplicity and practicality in mind. It provides support exactly where it is needed, helping the user to concentrate on positioning and securing the plasterboard.
Unlike larger plasterboard lifting equipment, Board Aid is small, portable and easy to store, making it particularly useful for jobs where transporting or setting up larger equipment may not be practical.
Despite its compact and lightweight design, Board Aid is constructed from strong ABS plastic, creating a durable tool that can be used again and again.
The tool is designed for both trade professionals and DIY users, including plasterers, dryliners, builders and carpenters, as well as those tackling plasterboard ceiling projects at home.
The Board Aid design is protected through registrations in four major markets — the UK, European Union, United States and China — as the business looks towards further growth and international opportunities.
A simple addition to the toolbox
Board Aid has been designed to complement the way plasterboard ceilings are already installed rather than introduce a complicated new system.
Its compact design means it can be kept readily available in a toolbox or van and used whenever additional support is needed during ceiling boarding.
For DIY users, it also provides a compact solution that doesn't require the storage space associated with larger plasterboard lifting equipment.
Board Aid is now available to purchase in the UK through the official Board Aid website, with the company also looking to work with builders' merchants, tool retailers, DIY retailers and distributors.
