Product Overview
Compact fire-resistant plasterboard sheet, measuring 1800 × 900mm with a 12.5mm square edge, for use in ceilings, partitions, and wall linings where reduced board size aids handling and fixing.
The square edge profile allows boards to butt cleanly together without a recess, making it suited to textured finishes, direct decoration, or traditional jointing and plaster skim methods.
Smaller dimensions simplify handling in lofts, bathrooms, stairwells, and other confined areas, while still providing the same dependable performance as full-size boards.
At 12.5mm thick, the board represents the industry standard, offering reliable strength and stability for partitions and linings while helping to slow the spread of flames and support fire-resistant construction.
Features & Benefits
- Fire-resistant core: Provides up to 30 minutes’ protection against the spread of fire when used in the correct system.
- Square edge profile: Creates a flush joint suited to skim plaster finishes.
- Pink paper face: Provides easy visual identification of fire-rated board.
- Lightweight gypsum core: Simplifies lifting, cutting, and fixing.
- Suitable for ceilings: Reduced weight makes overhead work less demanding.
- Made by Knauf Drywall: Backed by quality and compliance standards.
- Compact 1800mm x 900mm sheet: Easier to manoeuvre through restricted spaces.
- 12.5mm thickness: Standard for drylining - basis for most stud, track, and lining specs.
Applications
- Ceiling lining: Reduced weight suited to overhead installation.
- Lofts and attics: Compact size fits confined or angled spaces.
- Bathrooms and stairwells: Easier to transport where access is restricted.
- Small partitions: Suitable for fire-rated non-loadbearing dividing walls.
Installation Guidance
