Plasterboard: choosing well
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.
Which thickness?
12.5 mm is the everyday choice for walls and ceilings on 400 or 600 mm centres; 9.5 mm suits ceilings at 400 mm centres. Fire and acoustic designs may call for 15 mm or two layers.
Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.
Before your Barry delivery arrives
Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Barry is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- With roughly 7h 51m of daylight in Barry around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
