Applying wet plaster can be a long and stressful process, especially when you factor in drying times and all the fiddling that comes with trying to achieve the perfect smooth finish. GTEC Standard Board ensures you can simply install and crack on with decorating - no wait times and no hassle. 

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 hassle-free alternative to traditional lath and plaster processes, helping you to meet normal fire, structural and acoustic level requirements in partitions, linings and ceilings.
