Choosing plasterboard

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 England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Delivering plasterboard in Coventry

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

  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
