FAQs

How many plasterboards do I need?
Each 2438 x 1200mm (8ft x 4ft) sheet covers about 2.93 m². Divide your wall or ceiling area in m² by 2.93 and round up, allowing roughly 10% extra for cuts around doors, windows and openings.

Is the price per sheet?
Yes, the price is for one 12.5mm 2438 x 1200mm sheet (slab), including VAT.

What fire rating does it give?
The fire rating depends on the complete construction system: stud type and spacing, the number of board layers, fixings, insulation and joint treatment. Check the system specification or ask your engineer or building control to confirm what you need under Irish Building Regulations.

Can I use it on a garage ceiling?
Fire resistant plasterboard is commonly specified for garage walls and ceilings. Confirm the build-up your project requires.
