ABSTRACT:
There is described a supporting strip for retaining the edge of a plasterboard panel (6) adjacent a wall of a building. The strip (16) comprises a first flange (16b, 31) attachable to the wall as by nailing, a second flange (16a, 30) extending horizontally from the upper edge of the first, and locating member (16c, 33) extending from the first flange at a distance below the second flange to engage the underside of the plasterboard panel and support its edge. The locating member may be a solid flange (16c), or may be a series of bendable portions (33) of the first flange (31) which are deformed out of the plane of the first flange about substantially vertical axes (BB).
An insulation-receiving channel section (17, 20) may be formed integrally with or joined to the supporting strip.
