12.5mm Knauf Wallboard Tapered Edge Plasterboard 2400mm x 1200mm

Why Wallboard?

• Wallboard, also known as standard plasterboard, is a widely used interior surfacing panel for walls, ceilings and applications where standard levels of fire resistance, structural support, and sound insulation are required.
• It is composed of a gypsum core sandwiched between two thick sheets of paper.
• One of these paper faces has a characteristic ivory colour, providing a clean and neutral backdrop for decoration.
• Whether you prefer the simplicity of paint, the intricate patterns of wallpaper, or the texture of a plaster finish, wallboard provides the perfect foundation.

Why 12.5mm?

• 12.5mm plasterboard is the standard thickness for most construction projects, offering a balanced combination of strength, durability, and ease of installation for general wall and ceiling applications.
• It provides better structural integrity and sound insulation than the lighter 9.5mm board, while being less bulky than the thicker 15mm option.
• However, unless specified as a performance board, it should not be relied upon as a standalone solution for soundproofing.

Why Tapered Edge?

• Tapered-edge plasterboard features sloped edges that create a recess when joined, making it easier to apply joint tape and compound for a smooth, paint-ready finish.
• It minimises visible seams and reduces the amount of joint compound needed, making it ideal for aesthetic-focused projects like walls, ceilings, and partitions.

Why 2400mm x 1200mm?

• 2400mm x 1200mm plasterboard is the standard size used for wall and ceiling installations.
• Its larger dimensions allow for faster coverage of wide surfaces, which is especially beneficial in larger rooms or open spaces.
• Using these standard-sized boards means fewer sheets are needed to cover the area, which not only saves time during installation but also reduces the number of joints and seams that need finishing.
• Fewer seams result in a cleaner, smoother finish and less overall labour.
