Product Overview
Large 2700mm x 1200mm fire-resistant plasterboard sheet designed for tall partitions and ceilings.
Tapered edge profile forms a recess at board joints for tape and jointing, producing a seamless surface ready for decoration. The pink face provides quick identification of its fire-resistant rating.
Extended length reduces horizontal joints, providing faster coverage with a cleaner finish.
At 12.5mm thick, this fire board is the industry standard, offering strength and stability for partitions and linings while helping to slow the spread of flames.
