Like any material, drywall has its own characteristics, which must be taken into account during transportation, working with it and subsequent operation. First of all, it is rather fragile. And although it is not so easy to destroy the drywall structure, but damage, for example, having a good knock on it with a hammer is quite realistic.
For the same reason, it is necessary to transport plasterboard sheets with caution, it is best in the form of a pile of sheets of the same size and type laid on a special pallet flat. After transportation, the drywall sheets should lie down for 5-6 hours in the room where installation will be carried out to “get used to” the humidity.

If you do not follow these recommendations, after installation on drywall can both crack. Cracking — the main defect on the surface of the finished cladding. It manifests itself in case of non -compliance with temperature and moist regimes in the process of storage, installation and operation of structures, impaired technology when connecting sheets. An important factor is also the direction and sequence of installation of screws when fastening the sheet on the frame. Incorrectly carried out fasteners can create a voltage in the sheet, which subsequently provokes the appearance of cracks.
