Plasterboard: choosing well
Tapered or square edge?
Tapered edge boards are for taping and jointing without a skim; square edge boards are normally skimmed.
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.
In Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.

Planning the drop in Belfast
Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around BT1 are priced to the exact address.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
