First things first, what do you need it for? Are you looking to build room partitions? Covering up old fashioned brick or creating a soundproof room (bliss!).

Different applications call for different types of plasterboard, each with their own unique properties.

  • For extra fire safety lookout for plasterboards with enhanced fire-resistant properties (and always make sure they meet the necessary fire safety standards and regulations).
  • For those moisture-prone areas like bathrooms or kitchens, opt for moisture-resistant plasterboards. These are specially designed to withstand dampness, preventing any unwelcome mould or mildew growth.
  • If you're dreaming of a quiet oasis, consider soundproofing plasterboards. They often come with extra layers or insulation to minimise sound transmission and create a more relaxing environment.
  • Budget is always important. Take some time to look at the cost-effectiveness of different plasterboard options. It’s worth weighing the features and benefits against the overall cost to make a smart decision.

And when all else fails, don't hesitate to seek professional advice. They can help you find the perfect plasterboard that fits your specific needs and most importantly, install it properly!
