British Gypsum Plasterboard Thermal
British Gypsum Plasterboard creates flat, smooth, and durable interior surfaces. It is widely used for creating even walls and ceilings that are easy to fit, finish, and decorate.
What is BG plasterboard?
BG plasterboard, short for British Gypsum plasterboard, is a high-quality gypsum-based board with strong liner paper facing. It is built to provide flat, solid surfaces ideal for finishing, skimming, or decorating.
What are British Gypsum plasterboards used for?
BG plasterboards are mostly installed in:
- Homes and flats- general lining and finishing
- Commercial interiors- ceilings and partitions
- Stud framing systems – used on timber or metal stud frames
- Fire-rated systems – used with FireLine panels as part of tested fire-rated assemblies
- Bathrooms and kitchens – use moisture plasterboard to resist humidity
Types of British Gypsum wallboards
Available BG wallboards include:
British Gypsum standard plasterboard
The go-to board for everyday wall and ceiling linings. It is light, easy to score, and snap. Ideal for homes, offices, and general commercial projects that require a reliable finish.
British Gypsum F multiboard
A strong, versatile board designed for multiple uses. It combines good fire performance with extra impact strength, making it suitable for spaces that see regular wear and tear, such as corridors and stairways. It can also form part of sound-rated and fire-rated wall systems when fitted in accordance with the guidance.
British Gypsum FireLine plasterboard
A 15mm fire plasterboard with a reinforced gypsum core that slows heat transfer and holds its shape under high temperatures. It is used for fire-rated construction, such as separating walls or ceiling systems. It should be installed as part of a tested system to ensure full Building Regulations compliance.
British Gypsum SoundBloc plasterboard
The British Gypsum SoundBlock plasterboard has a denser core that helps minimise airborne noise between rooms. It is often paired with mineral wool insulation for optimal noise reduction. Ideal for bedrooms, offices, flats, and music rooms.
British Gypsum Moisture plasterboard
Recognisable by its green face, this panel is built to resist moisture and mould. It is ideal for kitchens, utility rooms, and bathrooms.
British Gypsum tapered edge plasterboard
This variant has slightly recessed edges that make jointing easier. Best for ceilings and walls that will be taped and filled rather than fully skimmed.
