Picking the right product

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.

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

Getting plasterboard onto your Scone site

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

• With roughly 6h 51m of daylight in Scone around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• In summer Scone gets around 17h 44m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Quantities: a worked example

A new 4.2 m partition 2.7 m high, boarded on both sides, is 22.68 m² of board: 9 sheets of 2400 × 1200 mm with 10% for cutting, and about 315 drywall screws. Try the plasterboard calculator
