Fire Rated Plasterboard – Gypsum – Interior Walls & Ceilings

Product Overview

This long-length plasterboard sheet measures 2700 × 1200mm with a 12.5mm square edge, perfect for ceilings, partitions, and wall linings where reducing horizontal joints improves finish quality. The square edge profile allows boards to butt cleanly together, making it suitable for textured finishes, direct decoration, or traditional jointing and plaster skim methods. The increased board length reduces the need for horizontal joints in standard-height rooms, enhancing installation efficiency and ensuring a cleaner, more uniform finish. At 12.5mm thick, this board offers reliable strength and stability for partitions and linings, minimizing flex and reducing the risk of surface cracking.
