Hi, can anyone please tell me what is the plastering side and what is the decorating side of plasterboard?
I always thought that the dark grey side was for plastering and the light grey side for decorating, but I have just bought some KNAUFF plasterboard and it says on the dark grey side to only plaster on the other side. Have I been wrong all these years or is it only that KNAUFF that is different?

Cheers

Thanks ricky68, I thought I was going yampy, they must have changed it when I wasn't looking. It was lucky that i had only put one sheet up before I noticed it. Thanks again for the reply.
