12.5mm Gyproc Moisture Resistant Board Tapered Edge Plasterboard 2400mm x 1200mm

These days, installing moisture-resistant plasterboard in high-moisture environments is an industry standard. Standard plasterboard is adversely affected by moisture, being unable to cope with intermittent exposure to water which renders it damaged and enfeebled.

On the opposite end of the scale, you have the hard-to-resist 12.5mm Gyproc Moisture Resistant Board Tapered Edge Plasterboard, offering excellent moisture resistance. 

These 2400mm x 1200mm boards feature silicone additives along with water repellent liners, making them a must in intermittent moisture applications where high moisture and humidity are present: kitchens, bathroom walls and ceilings, to name a few. They are also suitable for use in external soffits that are in sheltered positions.

What's more, this impressive plasterboard absorbs less than 5% of water and offers both fire and sound resistance properties.

12.5mm Gyproc Moisture Resistant Board Tapered Edge Finishing

It is possible to skim moisture-resistant plasterboard as long as a bonding agent is used before starting the skimming process. Some people in the building industry believe that it is possible and easier just to skim directly onto the moisture-resistant plasterboard, so it is a matter of personal choice how you accomplish the task.

It is also possible to apply paint directly to the surface of MR plasterboard and the water repellent liners but it must first be prepared with a plaster bonding agent in order for the paint to adhere to the surface. This is in accordance with the British Gypsum guidelines.
