Things to check before you order

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.

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

Delivery to Penicuik: what helps

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• In summer Penicuik gets around 17h 35m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
