DividerWhat Is Paypal Pay Later?

Pay In 4 allows you to spend £99.00 or more in a single transaction and pay it off in four bi-weekly instalments. Pay in 4 has no impact on your credit score and charges 0% interest on bi-weekly payments, according to PayPal. It’s essentially a low-risk micro-loan guaranteed by PayPal that allows you to purchase larger products like a TV or laptop more easily. There is also pay in 3 (lets you split your basket into 3 payments).

DividerIs Your Credit Checked By PayPal Pay Later?

PayPal does a mild credit check to see whether you’re eligible, that won’t harm your credit score. Before you make a purchase, your payment dates and amounts owed will be presented, so you’ll know precisely when and how much your credit or debit card will be charged for each payment.

PayPal Pay Later is a form of credit. So, you need to consider whether you can afford the repayments and possible impact to your credit score.

What is A Deflection Head?

A Deflection Head is utilised to allow for movement (up, down, or both) within the structure at the head of the partition. This movement (or deflection) is created by live and dead loads on the floor or roof above.

What Is Deflection In Drywall?

The bending of joists, trusses, or rafters that occurs when a structure is overloaded is known as Deflection. Deflection movement causes a variety of interior building consequences. Deflection usually results in unattractive cracks in the drywall along the inside corners of the wall where it meets the ceiling, or along the filled out joints between the boards.

More about Deflection Heads

Here at Drywall Pro-cut, on line we sell BG/Siniat/Knauf Deflection Heads made in full. That is, we cut the board strips ( usually, Glasroc or plasterboard ) and screw them at the correct screw-centres to the metal head channel for you ( 50mm, 70mm metal etc whatever is your specification ) in whatever lengths you choose. We can also fix the fire strip onto the metal channel as well to your requirement. This saves so much time and money on site, ensures quality and your adherence to the specification.
We can also simply cut the board strips to length and width for you to fix yourselves on site. However, we firmly believe the more work we can do away from the site the better for that site!

 

What Is The Best Way To Cut Plasterboard?

In our opinion, wherever possible, by using machinery in a factory controlled environment and then delivering it to site.
However, if you must cut on site the best technique to cut plasterboard in a straight line is to draw a line with a pencil first, then place a spirit level or other metal straight edge on top of it. While  scoring along the line with a sharp craft knife, keeping the straight edge firmly in place.
