12.5mm Siniat GTEC Moisture Board Tapered Edge Plasterboard 2400mm x 1200mm

Where standard plasterboard would break down, 12.5mm Siniat GTEC Moisture Board prevails. GTEC Moisture Board is a 'tough as old boots' plasterboard, packed with water-resistant additives in the core and liner to provide protection in high humidity areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms. 

GTEC Moisture plasterboard contains moisture-resistant additives to battle damp-induced woes such as mould and deterioration of building fabric, meaning it reigns supreme in moist areas such as kitchen walls and ceilings.

With green facing on either side and tapers down the long edges, the boards are suitable for both jointing and skimming.

Aside from its impressive moisture performance, 12.5mm Siniat GTEC Moisture Board offers a whole host of other benefits. Whilst it's not immediately obvious, 12.5mm Siniat GTEC Moisture Board also provides fire protection and acoustic performance where necessary. 

These 2400mm x 1200mm x 12.5mm boards boast an impressive Euroclass rating of A2-s1, which means they are non-combustible.

Featuring a handy tapered edge, these boards are also a lot easier to fit than standard square edge plasterboard.

12.5mm Siniat GTEC Moisture Board Jointing & Finishing

GTEC Moisture Board can be jointed and finished with GTEC Jointing systems. Boards should be primed with GTEC Universal Sealer prior to decorating and treated with PVA bonding agent before plastering.

It is also possible to apply paint directly to the surface of MR plasterboard and the water repellent liners but again, it must first be prepared with a plaster bonding agent in order for the paint to adhere to the surface. This is in accordance with the British Gypsum guidelines.
