• What acoustic performance does the board give?

• What edge profiles are available? 

Square edge.

• What is the acceptable moisture content? 

If the board has been exposed or semi-exposed for a brief period, it is common for those inspecting it to use a damp proof meter such as a Protimeter.  In such cases we would recommend, as a rule of thumb, that the board should be suspected of lasting damage if the reading exceeds 16-18.  Below 16 is acceptable.
