Vapour Tapered Edge Board - 12.5mm x 2400mm x 1200mm
The Vapour Tapered Edge Board - 12.5mm x 2400mm x 1200mm is a practical plasterboard designed for internal walls and ceilings where additional control of water vapour is required. It combines the convenience of standard plasterboard with an integrated vapour-control layer, helping to reduce the movement of moisture through suitable wall and ceiling constructions. Customers selecting plasterboard can choose the GTec Moisture Resistant 2400x1200x12.5mm Tapered Edge for dependable interior lining and finishing, while those sourcing drywall sheets can use it for suitable walls, ceilings and partitioning projects.
Measuring 2400mm x 1200mm with a 12.5mm thickness, the board provides generous coverage for larger areas. Its tapered edges are designed for taping and jointing, helping installers achieve a neat, smooth surface ready for decorating.
Effective Vapour Control
This specialist board is designed to help limit the passage of water vapour through walls and ceilings when correctly installed as part of a suitable system. This makes it particularly useful in areas where managing condensation and moisture movement through the building fabric is important.
By combining plasterboard and vapour-control functionality in a single product, it can also simplify installation compared with systems where separate materials would otherwise be required.
Tapered Edge for a Smooth Finish
The tapered edges provide space for joint tape and jointing compound between adjoining boards. Once correctly filled and finished, the joints can be blended into the surrounding board surface to create a clean and consistent appearance.
This makes the board well suited to drylining projects where the finished surface will be painted or decorated without applying a traditional full coat of plaster.
Suitable for Walls and Ceilings
With dimensions of 2400mm x 1200mm, each board provides approximately 2.88m² of coverage. The large sheet size makes it a convenient choice for covering substantial wall and ceiling areas while helping to minimise the number of joints required.
The 12.5mm thickness makes the board suitable for a variety of compatible internal lining systems in residential, commercial, refurbishment and new-build projects. Installation should always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the intended application.
