Plasterboard sheets for walls, ceilings and dry lining
Choose plasterboard sheets for internal walls, ceilings, timber stud partitions, wall linings and dry lining projects. This range includes standard square edge and tapered edge plasterboard, plus specialist moisture resistant, fire rated, acoustic and insulated boards where the job needs extra performance.
Plasterboard sheet sizes and thicknesses
Our standard plasterboard sheets include 1800 x 900mm and 2400 x 1200mm boards in 9.5mm and 12.5mm thicknesses. Choose the size and thickness that suits the wall, ceiling, handling access and project specification.
| Plasterboard type | Best starting point |
|---|---|
| Standard square edge plasterboard | General dry internal walls and ceilings where the board will usually be skim plastered. |
| Standard tapered edge plasterboard | Dry internal walls and ceilings where tape-and-joint finishing is planned. |
| Moisture resistant plasterboard | Humid internal rooms such as kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms. Moisture resistant, not waterproof. |
| Fire rated plasterboard | Wall and ceiling systems where enhanced fire performance is specified. |
| Acoustic plasterboard | Partitions, walls and ceilings where improved sound reduction is needed. |
| Insulated plasterboard | Thermal dry lining where the chosen board thickness and full build-up meet the project requirement. |
Square edge or tapered edge?
Square edge plasterboard is a straightforward choice where boards will be skimmed with plaster. Tapered edge plasterboard has recessed long edges designed to make jointing and taping easier.
Standard, moisture resistant, fire rated or acoustic?
Use standard plasterboard for dry internal areas. Use moisture resistant plasterboard for humid internal areas, but do not treat it as waterproof. Use fire rated plasterboard only as part of a specified fire-resisting wall or ceiling system. Use acoustic plasterboard where sound reduction matters, remembering that acoustic performance depends on the full build-up.
Building a timber stud wall?
See our Build a Stud Wall project collection for CLS framing timber, plasterboard, door linings and fixings together. The project page explains why the material take-off depends on the actual wall layout rather than a one-size-fits-all kit.
