Product Overview

Standard fire-resistant plasterboard sheet, measuring 2400 × 1200mm with a 15mm tapered edge, for use in ceilings, partitions, and wall linings where board size aligns with typical stud spacing and maximises coverage.

The tapered edge profile creates a shallow recess at board joints, designed to accommodate tape and jointing compound. Once filled and finished, the surface becomes seamless and ready for direct decoration.

Standard dimensions reduce the number of joints required across walls and ceilings, improving installation efficiency while maintaining dependable performance in partition and lining systems.

At 15mm thick, the board provides enhanced durability and rigidity compared with slimmer boards, while also delivering up to one hour fire resistance in approved systems.

Features & Benefits

  • Fire-resistant core: Provides up to 60 minutes’ protection against the spread of fire when used in the correct system.
  • Tapered edge profile: Allows joint compound and tape to sit flush with the board, avoiding raised seams.
  • Pink paper face: Provides easy visual identification of fire-rated board.
  • Lightweight gypsum core: Simplifies lifting, cutting, and fixing.
  • Suitable for ceilings: Reduced weight makes overhead work less demanding.
  • Made by Knauf Drywall: Backed by quality and compliance standards.
  • Standard 2400mm x 1200mm size: Fits common framing and grid systems.
  • 15mm thickness: Higher fire resistance and durability for demanding applications.

Applications

  • 60-minute fire-rated partitions: 15mm mass allows for higher fire resistance ratings in single-layer applications compared to 12.5mm boards. 
  • Commercial escape routes: Used in corridors and stairwells to maintain the integrity of fire-protected zones during emergency evacuations.
  • Structural steel protection: 15mm profile is used for encasing steel beams and columns to delay structural failure in the event of a fire.
  • Plant rooms and riser walls: High-density core provides the necessary containment for enclosing electrical risers and boiler plant environments.


Installation Guidance

  • Fix with staggered joints: Improves strength and reduces cracking.
  • Cut by scoring and snapping: Ensures accurate sizing.
  • Store flat in a dry space: Prevents moisture damage and warping.

Compliance & Performance

  • Compliance: EN 520, Types A and D: Conforms to plasterboard requirements for fire resistance.
  • Categorised as Gypsum Type X: Classified for enhanced fire performance.
  • BS EN ISO 9001: 2000: Produced under recognised quality management standards.
  • BS 1230: Part 1 1985: Meets established plasterboard performance requirements.
  • Non-combustible to BS 476: Part 4: Certified fire safety compliance.

How delivery works

We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.

Delivery areas

Delivery charges apply to mainland UK, excluding: AB, CA, CF, DD, DG, EH, EX, FK, KA, KW, KY, IV, LA, LD, LL, ML, NP, PA, PH, PL, SA, SY, TR, TQ and TD.

If your address is in one of these areas, we will contact you before processing your order to confirm any additional costs. We do not currently offer delivery outside the UK mainland.

What to expect on delivery day

  • Deliveries are typically kerbside.
  • Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
  • Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.

Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery

Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.

Returns

Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.
