15mm Knauf Wallboard Tapered Edge Plasterboard 2400mm x 1200mm

Why Wallboard? 

• Wallboard, also known as standard plasterboard, is a widely used interior surfacing panel for walls, ceilings and applications where standard levels of fire resistance, structural support, and sound insulation are required. 
• It is composed of a gypsum core sandwiched between two thick sheets of paper. One of these paper faces has a characteristic ivory colour, providing a clean and neutral backdrop for decoration. Whether you prefer the simplicity of paint, the intricate patterns of wallpaper, or the texture of a plaster finish, wallboard provides the perfect foundation.

Why 15mm?

• 15mm plasterboard, our thickest variant, offers superior strength and impact resistance, making it ideal for supporting heavier fixtures and reducing the risk of sagging. 
• Its increased thickness provides greater durability than thinner variants, making it the preferred choice for ceilings and walls that require enhanced structural integrity.

Why Tapered Edge?

• Tapered-edge plasterboard features sloped edges that create a recess when joined, making it easier to apply joint tape and compound for a smooth, paint-ready finish.
• It minimises visible seams and reduces the amount of joint compound needed, making it ideal for aesthetic-focused projects like walls, ceilings, and partitions.

Why 2400mm x 1200mm? 

• 2400mm x 1200mm plasterboard is the standard size used for wall and ceiling installations. Its larger dimensions allow for faster coverage of wide surfaces, which is especially beneficial in larger rooms or open spaces. 
• Using these standard-sized boards means fewer sheets are needed to cover the area, which not only saves time during installation but also reduces the number of joints and seams that need finishing. Fewer seams result in a cleaner, smoother finish and less overall labour.
