What is fire rated plasterboard?
Fire rated plasterboard, also called fire board or fire resistant plasterboard, is designed to provide improved fire resistance compared with standard plasterboard when used as part of a correctly specified wall or ceiling system.
Our fire resistant plasterboard
We stock 2400 × 1200 × 12.5mm fire resistant square edge plasterboard for internal walls, ceilings, partitions and linings where enhanced fire performance is required.
Where is fire board used?
Fire board is commonly used in internal partitions, wall linings, ceilings, garages and other areas where the construction requires improved fire performance. The required performance comes from the complete build-up, including the board, framing, fixings, joints and installation.
Fire rated plasterboard or standard plasterboard?
Use standard plasterboard for general internal dry lining where enhanced fire performance is not required. Choose fire resistant plasterboard where the project or system specification calls for it.
