Hi all,

A quick question, when did plasterboard first come into common use ?


TIA

Adrian

Invented 1894. Common use 1955

Depends on your definition of the terms used and geographical
location.


Erm! no it was 1922 when first used.


So it say around in Travis Perkins for 28 years before anyone tried it ?


No, that was how long they had to wait to get served.
