Product Overview

Standard fire-resistant plasterboard sheet, measuring 2400 × 1200mm with a 12.5mm tapered edge, for use in ceilings, partitions, and wall linings where board size aligns with typical stud spacing and maximises coverage.

The tapered edge profile creates a shallow recess at board joints, designed to accommodate tape and jointing compound. Once filled and finished, the surface becomes seamless and ready for direct decoration.

Standard dimensions reduce the number of joints required across walls and ceilings, improving installation efficiency while maintaining dependable performance in partition and lining systems.

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.
  • Tapered edge profile: Allows joint compound and tape to sit flush with the board, avoiding raised seams.
  • 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.
  • Standard 2400mm x 1200mm size: Fits common framing and grid systems.
  • 12.5mm thickness: Standard for drylining - basis for most stud, track, and lining specs.

Applications

  • Ceiling lining: Widely used in fire-rated overhead installations.
  • Partitions: Suitable for fire-resistant non-loadbearing dividing walls.
  • Corridors and stairwells: Commonly installed in escape routes.
  • Plant rooms: Used to enclose boiler or electrical riser walls.


Installation Guidance

  • Fix with staggered joints: Improves strength and reduces cracking.
  • Cut by scoring and snapping: Ensures accurate sizing.
  • Store flat in a dry space: Prevents moisture damage and warping.

Compliance & Performance

  • Compliance: EN 520, Types A and D: Conforms to plasterboard requirements for fire resistance.
  • Categorised as Gypsum Type X: Classified for enhanced fire performance.
  • BS EN ISO 9001: 2000: Produced under recognised quality management standards.
