Fermacell is a good product, however a couple of issues that you
might have if installing small quantities. You either need to have a staple
gun capable of putting in 36mm "wide crown" stapes or a drywall
screwdriver
that meets the Fermacell specs and use Fermacell screws. Fermacell is a
very
tough (and heavy) board compared to normal plasterboard so has higher
fixing
requirements. Fermacell can be cut this a normal circular saw, however do
this outside, it creates massive amounts of dust of a similar nature to MDF
i.e.. very very fine. You don't what to be breathing this in.
