Plasterboard
Standard Plasterboards
Standard plasterboard is a layer of hardened plaster sandwiched between two layers of paper and used to line stud partitioning, ceilings and used in dry lining. Most plasterboards come with a white paper face, this is the front and will accept plastering and other finishes. The other side has a grey, thicker paper and not suitable for any finish.
At Southern Timber we stock mainly 12.5mm plasterboard, it is most often used and offers increased rigidity. The usual sheet size is 2400 x 1200mm, smaller sizes may be specified for roof work because of their reduced weight and ease of handling.
Plasterboard types
We also stock other more specialised plasterboards. For example all gypsum based plasterboards offer some fire protection, but Gyproc fireline offers improved performance. Specialist plaster-boards include Gyproc Moisture Resistant, Gyproc SoundBloc and Wallboard Duplex fire check.
