Plasterboard

It offers a quick, clean, and efficient solution for creating smooth walls and ceilings, replacing the more time-consuming traditional wet plastering methods. Whether in homes, offices, or commercial spaces, plasterboard plays a key role in defining and finishing interior environments.

Made from a core of gypsum sandwiched between two layers of heavy-duty paper, plasterboard is valued for its ease of installation, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. It can be cut to size, screwed into metal or wooden framing, and finished with joint compound and paint for a polished look. This has made it the material of choice for partition walls, wall linings, ceiling panels, and more.

One of plasterboard’s strongest advantages is its adaptability. It comes in several specialized variants to meet different building needs:

• Standard plasterboard: Ideal for general interior walls and ceilings.
• Moisture-resistant board: Contains water-repellent additives for use in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas.
• Fire-rated board: Reinforced with glass fibers for enhanced fire resistance, often used in multi-story buildings or areas requiring fireproofing.
• Soundproof plasterboard: Thicker and denser to help reduce noise transmission between rooms.

In addition to being fast and simple to install, plasterboard also offers good thermal and acoustic insulation when paired with appropriate insulation materials. Its smooth surface is perfect for painting, wallpapering, or other decorative finishes, allowing for creative interior design flexibility.

While durable under normal use, plasterboard can be susceptible to damage from impact, excessive moisture, or mold if not properly protected. Therefore, choosing the right type of board for each environment is essential to ensure longevity and performance.

From residential renovations to large-scale commercial builds, plasterboard has transformed how we construct interior spaces. Its combination of speed, functionality, and finish quality makes it an essential material in modern construction practices.
