The Knauf Wallboard Tapered Edge Plasterboard is designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts looking to create efficient, smooth interior wall and ceiling surfaces. These 9.5mm boards provide a lightweight solution that is particularly effective for ceiling installations, though their reduced thickness means they are not suitable for high-impact load-bearing applications. This 8-pack is optimized for standard stud spacing, ensuring minimal waste and a professional finish when finished with tape and jointing compound.

These boards are standard wallboards. For high-humidity areas like bathrooms, we recommend using moisture-resistant plasterboard instead.
Use a sharp utility knife to score the paper on one side, snap the gypsum core along the line, and then cut the paper on the reverse side.
This is standard wallboard. If specific fire rating regulations apply to your project, you must use fire-rated plasterboard variants.
Typically, screws should be spaced at 300mm intervals along the stud lines to ensure structural integrity and a flat finish.
Yes, they can be fixed using a dot-and-dab method with approved drywall adhesive, provided the masonry wall is clean and stable.
Adjust the depth-stop on your screwdriver or use a dedicated drywall dimpler bit to prevent the screw from sinking too deep.
Ensure the boards are screwed firmly to the studs at the recommended 300mm intervals and ensure the framework is not flexing.
To install, position the boards horizontally or vertically across your studwork, ensuring the tapered edges meet at the joints. Use a dedicated drywall screwdriver set to the correct depth to prevent the screw head from breaking the paper surface of the board. For storage, keep the boards flat and raised off the floor on timber spacers to prevent moisture absorption and edge damage. Avoid storing in damp environments or directly against wet brickwork, as gypsum products are sensitive to prolonged moisture exposure.
