Product OverviewThis fire-resistant plasterboard sheet measures 2400 × 1200mm and features a 12.5mm tapered edge, making it suitable for ceilings, partitions, and wall lining applications that follow standard stud spacing. The tapered edge creates a recessed joint that allows tape and jointing compound to sit neatly within the board surface, producing a smooth, continuous finish once completed. Its standard dimensions help reduce the total number of joints required, improving installation speed while delivering consistent performance in most drylining systems. With a 12.5mm thickness, the board meets typical industry expectations for strength and stability and is designed to contribute to fire-resistant construction by helping slow the spread of flames when installed as part of an approved system. Features & Benefits• Fire-resistant makeup: When used correctly within a certified system, the board can provide up to 30 minutes of protection against fire spread.• Tapered edge design: Enables joints to be filled level with the surface for a flat, seamless finish.• Pink face liner: Allows easy identification of fire-rated boards on site.• Lightweight gypsum core: Easy to cut, carry, position, and fix.• Suitable for ceilings: Low weight assists with overhead installation.• Manufactured by Knauf Drywall: Supported by recognised quality controls.• Standard 2400 × 1200mm size: Aligns with common stud and grid layouts.• 12.5mm thickness: Matches the standard specification for many partition and lining systems.
