GTec Vapour Board 2400x1200x12.5mm Tapered Edge

GTec Vapour Board Plasterboard 2400mm x 1200mm x 12.5mm Tapered Edge

The GTec Vapour Board Plasterboard is a high-quality drylining solution designed to control moisture and vapour within internal wall and ceiling structures. Similar to the standard GTec Wallboard, this version includes a laminated vapour control layer that significantly enhances resistance to condensation and damp, making it ideal for use in areas where moisture regulation is important. This board features a white front face suitable for painting or decorating and a silver metallised polyester backing that acts as an effective vapour barrier. The tapered edge allows for smooth jointing and finishing, providing a clean, professional appearance once installed. Measuring 2400mm x 1200mm and 12.5mm thick, the GTec Vapour Board is easy to cut to size using the simple score-and-snap method, ensuring efficient installation on site. Complying with BS EN 520:2004 + A1:2009 Type A and BS EN 14190, this plasterboard provides both durability and protection, making it ideal for use in commercial and residential buildings where vapour control is required.

It’s ideal for use on internal walls and ceilings in areas prone to humidity or temperature variation, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and utility spaces. It’s also suitable for projects where enhanced moisture management is needed behind insulation.
