What is fire rated plasterboard?
Fire-rated plasterboard, also known as fire retardant plasterboard, is an insulating material that provides certified fire resistance for a specified duration, protecting structural elements. These boards are distinguished by their improved fire-resistance qualities.
Each fire plasterboard features an aerated core reinforced with glass fibres and other fire-resistant additives. All are encased within strong paper liners.
This type of plasterboard is commonly used for dry lining and improving fire performance on internal surfaces.
Leading brands available include:
The level of fire resistance depends on the entire build, not just the board itself. That means metal studs, fixings, and insulation layers all contribute to the system’s fire rating.
Fire resistance is expressed in minutes, usually 30, 60, 90, or 120. These timings indicate how long a system can resist fire before structural breakdown.
Our boards are 6mm, 10mm, 12.5mm, and 15mm thick and come with tapered or square edges. The 15mm board is generally recommended for partitions that require stronger fire protection.
What is fire plasterboard used for?
Fire plasterboard is ideal for:
- Internal walls in kitchens, boiler rooms, and corridors.
- Ceilings requiring enhanced protection against fire.
- Partitions in offices, flats, and shared spaces.
- Upgrading older walls during retrofits to meet current standards for fire safety.
These applications provide reliable safety while maintaining a smooth, paint-ready surface.
Types of fire retardant plasterboard
Fire retardant plasterboards include:
- Standard fire boards – Offer 30-60 minutes of fire resistance. Can be used for general builds most of the time.
- Moisture-resistant fire boards – Best choice for areas with intermittent moisture, such as bathrooms.
- Acoustic fire boards – Combine sound insulation with fire resistance.
All types are tested for compliance with UK Building Regulations.
