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.

Can I use moisture board in a shower?
No. It is not suitable for areas of continuous wetting or high humidity, such as inside a shower enclosure or steam room. For those areas, use a dedicated waterproof tile backer board or tanking system.

Can I tile directly onto it?
Yes. Moisture resistant plasterboard is an ideal base for tiling. Follow your tile adhesive manufacturer's guidance.
