Product Overview
Long-length fire-resistant plasterboard sheet, measuring 2700 × 1200mm with a 12.5mm tapered edge, for use in ceilings, partitions, and wall linings where reducing horizontal joints improves finish quality.
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.
Longer board length reduces or eliminates the need for horizontal joints in standard-height rooms, improving installation efficiency and delivering a cleaner, more uniform finish.
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.
- Large 2700mm x 1200mm size: Reduces joints in tall wall installations.
- 12.5mm thickness: Standard for drylining - basis for most stud, track, and lining specs.
Applications
- Tall partitions: Large sheet reduces horizontal joints.
- Ceiling lining in high rooms: Longer boards cover extended spans.
- Circulation areas: Fire protection for stairwells and corridors.
- Service enclosures: Suitable for boiler or plant room 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.
