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

Gypsum plasterboards are the most popular product from Knauf Drywall. We recommend them for homeowners who need drylining for wall partitions and ceilings. Each gypsum plasterboard has an in-built tapered edge, which makes it ideal for taping and jointing. Homeowners are more likely to achieve a flush finish when they invest in plasterboards that have a tapered edge. This flush finish creates the perfect  decoration. These drylining plasterboards make decorating as hassle-free as possible. You can wallpaper or paint the board as soon as it is installed.

These standard plasterboard sheets can be easily fixed to the wall or insulation using drywall adhesive. This method is commonly referred to as "dot and dab", which refers to the method by which the plasterboard adhesive/bonding compound is applied to the surface of the walls or insulation.
