The British Gypsum Gyproc WallBoard (15mm) is an ideal choice for contractors and DIY enthusiasts seeking a reliable, multi-use solution for interior walls and ceilings. It provides a stable base for direct decoration or plastering while offering integrated fire resistance for enhanced safety. While its 15mm thickness offers excellent durability and impact resistance compared to thinner boards, users should account for the extra weight when handling and installing the panels in residential or commercial framing projects.

While it can be used in general dry areas, it is not specifically a moisture-resistant board. For bathrooms or wet rooms, specialized moisture-resistant board is recommended.
It is heavier than 12.5mm, so ensure your joists can support the load and consider using mechanical assistance or two people to lift the boards safely.
Yes, always apply a high-quality drywall primer or sealer to the surface to ensure uniform paint absorption and adhesion.
Yes, you can 'dot and dab' or screw-fix these boards over existing plaster provided the old surface is stable and capable of holding the new weight.
Use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge to score the paper, then snap the board over a hard edge before finishing the cut on the backside.
Ensure the framework is rigid and the boards are fixed securely to every stud to prevent movement.
Adjust your drill depth setting to ensure the screw head sits flush or slightly below the surface without rupturing the face paper.
Use a wide filling knife and ensure you are using enough jointing compound to 'feather' the edge of the taper out onto the board surface.
For optimal results, ensure your timber or metal stud framework is plumb and spaced at standard 400mm or 600mm centers. Use standard drywall screws, ensuring the screw head sits just below the surface of the paper without breaking it. For cutting, use a sharp utility knife to score the front paper layer, snap the board along the line, and then cut the back paper layer. Store the boards flat in a dry, indoor environment away from direct ground contact. If the edges become damp during storage, they may swell, which will compromise the effectiveness of the tapered joints during the taping process.
