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.
