What is Fire-Proof Plasterboard?

Fire-Proof Plasterboard is intelligently designed to give the optimum fire protection, in comparison to conventional wallboards. Alongside this, as this type of plasterboard has improved density, it will also provide acoustic benefits too. Fire-Proof Plasterboard is suitable for fire rated partitions or beam encasement systems, and it can give you up to an hour of fire resistance – depending on the specification of the construction. It’s always important that you check the level of protection offered by the particular plasterboard solution. 

Where Can You Use Fire-Proof Plasterboard?

This form of plasterboard can be used in a number of places in domestic and commercial settings. Most commonly, it is used in the kitchen – especially in the walls, floors and ceilings near to the main cooking appliance. What’s more, it is beneficial to use it near junction boxes or any other areas that could create an electrical fire. In addition, it’s critical that you use it on structural elements like floors, walls and supporting beams. 

How Much Does Fire-Proof Plasterboard Cost?

Whilst the costs of investing in Fire-Proof Plasterboard can quickly add up, this type of plasterboard is simply a necessity for any property. It ensures the safety of a property and all inhabitants in the event of a fire breaking out.

How do you Fit Fire-Proof Plasterboard?

Many people ask the question of how to fit this sort of plasterboard, and it can be installed using adhesives or screws. Plasterboard needs to be hung with the grain running horizontally, so that it keeps all its strength and durability. You need to measure and mark where the stud wall is behind the panels, and then you must position the boards as needed and drive the screws in to keep the boards firmly in place.
