Product Overview

Long-length premium acoustic plasterboard sheet, measuring 2700 × 1200mm with a 12.5mm tapered edge, offering high levels of sound reduction, fire safety, and durability.


Manufactured with a dense gypsum core and robust paper liners, the board delivers outstanding acoustic comfort, reliable fire performance, and enhanced strength for demanding environments. 

It is widely specified in offices, schools, hospitals, and public buildings where both resilience and noise control are essential.


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.

Increased 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 balances ease of handling with acoustic comfort, fire safety, and durability, making it a dependable solution for partitions, linings, and ceilings in noise-sensitive environments.

Features & Benefits

  • High-density core: Provides superior airborne sound reduction, improving acoustic comfort between rooms.
  • Enhanced fire safety: Contributes to fire resistance when installed as part of tested Knauf systems.
  • Tapered edge profile: Allows tape and compound to sit flush, producing a smooth surface ready for decoration.
  • Blue paper face: Provides quick visual identification of performance-grade acoustic board.
  • Durable build: Greater impact resistance makes it ideal for high-traffic areas such as schools and hospitals.
  • Fully recyclable: Manufactured with sustainability in mind and recyclable at end of life.
  • Made by Knauf Drywall: Backed by quality and compliance standards.
  • Large 2700mm x 1200mm size: Covers more area per sheet, helping to cut down on joints, finishing time, and material waste.
  • 12.5mm thickness: Standard for drylining - basis for most stud, track, and lining specs.


Applications

  • Partitions: Improves acoustic separation in offices, schools, and healthcare buildings.
  • Wall linings: Adds both sound insulation and fire performance to framed or masonry walls.
  • Ceilings: Reduces sound transfer between floors in residential and commercial projects.

Installation Guidance

  • Fix with staggered joints: Strengthens the system and prevents sound leakage.
  • Cut by scoring and snapping: Ensures accurate sizing and clean edges.
  • Store flat in a dry environment: Protects boards from moisture and prevents distortion.

Compliance & Performance

  • Compliance: EN 520, Types A and D - conforms to acoustic and durability performance standards.
  • Reaction to fire: Classified A2-s1, d0 - limited contribution to fire and minimal smoke production.
  • Thermal conductivity: 0.25 W/mK - supports system U-value calculations.
  • Certifications: Produced under Knauf’s quality management systems, ensuring consistent performance.

How delivery works

We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.

Delivery areas

Delivery charges apply to mainland UK, excluding: AB, CA, CF, DD, DG, EH, EX, FK, KA, KW, KY, IV, LA, LD, LL, ML, NP, PA, PH, PL, SA, SY, TR, TQ and TD.

If your address is in one of these areas, we will contact you before processing your order to confirm any additional costs. We do not currently offer delivery outside the UK mainland.

What to expect on delivery day

  • Deliveries are typically kerbside.
  • Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
  • Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.

Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery

Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.

Returns

Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.
