Fed up with the headache of applying plaster? Apply in an instant with GTEC Standard Board. GTEC standard board is a classic gypsum board, meeting normal fire, structural and acoustic level requirements in partitions, linings and ceilings. 

Available in both square or tapered edges, these tapered edge boards are suitable to receive gypsum plaster finish and are ideal for both jointing and skimming, creating an invisible seam at the point where the edges meet.

Comprising an aerated calcium sulphate core enclosed encased in a tough paper with bound edges (bound by a PVA edge glue), GTEC 12.5mm Tapered Edge Plasterboards measure 2400 x 1200 x 12.5mm and are a no-nonsense alternative to wet plastering.
