Plastering and decorating

Fill gap between speaker and surrounding
area
It is important to ensure that plaster is
pushed into the 2mm (5/64”) gap that
surrounds the speaker. This will create
a strong bond between the edge of the
speaker and the edge of the wall.
This further helps to prevent any cracks
appearing in the skim finish.
IMPORTANT: There MUST be a gap of 2mm
(5/64”) all the way around the speaker
edge. If there isn’t simply remove the
speaker and increase the aperture size
accordingly (plasterboard installations
only)
If you are using a solid wall backbox,
ensure there is an even gap between
the speaker and the inside edge of the
backboxSW.
Apply joint tape
Apply professional plasterboard joint scrim
(Amina recommend use of a self adhesive
fibreglass scrim tape) over the joint
between the speaker and the surrounding
wall.
