The unique, seamless finish of Rigitone is made possible by the use of a specialised primer, filler and installation tools.
Product Overview
Unlike the traditional three coat plasterboard jointing systems, Rigitone boards are joined by caulking a specialised compound into a gap between the sheets. The filling method is made possible by the unique Rigitone Filler Accessory Kit, combined with Rigitone Primer and the Rigitone Filler compound.
Filling and finishing of Rigitone Perforated Plasterboard may also be achieved by using the dry-mix Gyprock Perforated Filler and Dry-Mix Filler Application Kit.
Typical Applications
Rigitone perforated plasterboard is typically used as a high-performance plasterboard for ceilings in commercial constructions where a high level of acoustic performance is required. This includes applications such as theatres, restaurants, shopping centres and hotel foyers. Whilst perforated plasterboard in predominantly installed in ceilings, it is suitable for use in walls.

Primer, Filler, Spacers
Rigitone Primer is a colourless primer for coating cut plasterboard edges in the Rigitone joint filling system. While all four edges of Rigitone boards are supplied pre-primed, Rigitone Primer is diluted ⅔ to ⅓ water and applied by brush to prepare edges that are cut during installation.
Rigitone Filler is used without tape to create a seamless joint between the edges of Rigitone boards. It is applied using the Barrel Gun and proprietary nozzles to ensure the perfect finish.
Rigitone Pattern Spacers are designed to ensure boards are fixed with the exact gap required for jointing. A specific Pattern Spacer is available for each of the four Rigitone board pattern layouts
