Not all plasterboard is the same, and using the wrong type can mean a failed inspection or a wall that doesn’t perform. Here’s a quick guide to the main board types and where each belongs — so the right one ends up in your spec.
The main types
- Standard board — general walls and ceilings in dry areas
- Moisture-resistant — bathrooms, kitchens and humid environments
- Fire-rated — compartment walls and protected routes where fire resistance is required
- Acoustic — denser board to reduce sound transfer in flats, hotels and offices
- Impact-resistant — corridors, schools and high-traffic areas
Matching the board to the job
Most projects use a mix of board types across different rooms and applications. The specification should tell you what goes where — and getting it right first time avoids costly rework.
