Getting the right plasterboard

Which board type?

Use moisture-resistant board in wet rooms, fire board where a fire rating is required, and acoustic board for quieter rooms. Building regulations or your design set the requirement.

Tapered or square edge?

Tapered edge boards are for taping and jointing without a skim; square edge boards are normally skimmed.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

How delivery works in Alloa

Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Alloa is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• In summer Alloa gets around 17h 39m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Plasterboard questions

What plasterboard for a bathroom?

Moisture-resistant board for general bathroom walls and ceilings. In shower areas use a tile backer board designed for wet areas.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Alloa?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Do you deliver plasterboard to trades and homeowners in Alloa?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

What thickness plasterboard for walls?

12.5 mm is the standard choice for walls on studs at 400 or 600 mm centres.
