Fire Resistant Plasterboard Tapered Edge 2400mm x 1200mm - 15mm

The Fire Resistant Plasterboard Tapered Edge 2400mm x 1200mm - 15mm is a durable plasterboard designed for areas where enhanced fire protection is required. With its 15mm thickness and substantial 2400mm x 1200mm sheet size, it provides a practical solution for walls, partitions and ceiling systems in both domestic and commercial building projects. Designed for effective interior lining, the Fire Resistant Plasterboard Tapered Edge 2400mm x 1200mm - 15mm suits customers sourcing plasterboard, while those requiring drywall sheets gain a dependable option for appropriate wall, ceiling and partition installations.

Designed to help improve the fire performance of suitable wall and ceiling constructions, this board is ideal for projects where standard plasterboard may not provide the required level of protection. Its robust construction makes it suitable for new builds, extensions, refurbishments and a wide variety of interior applications.

Enhanced Fire Protection

Fire resistant plasterboard is specifically manufactured to provide improved resistance to fire when incorporated into an appropriate tested system. The 15mm board can be used as part of fire-rated partitions, wall linings and ceilings where additional protection is required.

The overall fire performance will depend on the complete system, including the supporting structure, number of plasterboard layers, insulation, fixings and joint treatment. Installation should therefore follow the manufacturer's recommendations and the requirements of the relevant building specification.

Tapered Edge for a Smooth Finish

This plasterboard features tapered edges, making it particularly suitable for drylining applications where the joints between boards will be taped and filled. The tapered profile provides space for jointing materials, helping create a smooth and consistent surface ready for decorating.

Once correctly installed and finished, the boards can provide a clean appearance across larger wall and ceiling areas, making them a practical option for projects where both performance and finish are important.

Suitable for Walls and Ceilings

Measuring 2400mm x 1200mm with a thickness of 15mm, each board provides approximately 2.88m² of coverage. The large format helps cover substantial areas efficiently and can reduce the number of joints required compared with smaller plasterboard sheets.

Suitable for a variety of internal construction projects, this fire resistant plasterboard can be incorporated into compatible timber or metal frame systems. It is particularly useful for areas where enhanced fire performance forms part of the project's building requirements.
