Abstract
A building board such as a gypsum board is provided for use in construction of commercial and residential building the board having opposed parallel surfaces, one having spaced apart transverse markings and the other having spaced apart longitudinal markings. Each marking is associated with a string embedded therein, and a releasable paper layer is coextensively adhered to each surface of the board adapted to be peeled away from the surface when the cord is pulled to peel away the releasable paper, and the desired size board is cut by breaking the board along the markings.
Claims16
A method of providing building boards with predetermined size and precise dimensions for use in the construction of commercial and residential buildings, which method comprises using a prefabricated board of specified thickness defined by spaced apart opposed parallel surfaces, placing a cord or a string at predetermined spaced apart distances along each of said surfaces, adhering a sheet liner coextensively on each surface of said board, one of said sheet liners having spaced apart transverse markings and the other one of said sheet liners having spaced apart longitudinal markings, each cord or string being associated with each of said markings, pulling each of said cords or strings thereby cutting said sheet liner along its associated marking thereby facilitating breaking of said fabricated board to a predetermined size.
A building board of precise dimensions for use in the construction of commercial and residential buildings, said board having a finite thickness and defined by spaced apart opposed parallel surfaces, a layer of a sheet liner coextensively adhered to each surface of said board, one of said sheet liners having spaced apart transverse markings and the other one of said sheet liners having spaced apart longitudinal markings, a cord or a string associated with each marking embedded beneath each of said layers adapted to be pulled from its respective surface of said board to thereby cut said layer away from its respective surface expose said surface and break the board at said cut layer.
