Moisture Resistant Plasterboard Fire Resistant
High humidity spaces like bathrooms and some kitchen zones need more protection than regular plasterboard can provide. They require moisture resistant plasterboard, often called MR board or green plasterboard.
These panels are not waterproof, but they perform much better in damp or steamy conditions than regular plasterboard.

What is green plasterboard?
It is made from a gypsum core with moisture-repellent additives, enclosed within durable paper facings. Green plasterboard is simply another name for moisture resistant plasterboard. It is a special type of board made with water-repellent additives that slow down moisture absorption.
Although it is often mistakenly described as waterproof plasterboard, this panel is not waterproof. It performs well against humidity and splashes, but it is not meant for constant water exposure, such as inside showers, unless first protected with a tanking system.
What is green plasterboard used for?
Moisture plasterboard is fitted anywhere humidity can weaken standard plasterboard.
- Bathroom and kitchen areas, e.g. above sinks or cookers.
- Commercial kitchens.
- Utility rooms and laundry areas.
- Shower spaces only when used with tanking or suitable tile backing.
- Basements and lower floors with limited ventilation.
- Changing rooms and wash zones.
Types of moisture plasterboard
- 12.5mm MR Board. A balanced option for general domestic use.
- 15mm MR Board. Good for commercial or multi-layer wall systems that need extra strength.

You can purchase MR boards directly from Insulation Wholesale for reliable brands such as British Gypsum, Siniat, Knauf, and GYPFOR. Order online in your preferred size and edge type, with site or residential delivery available.
What colour is moisture resistant plasterboard?
In the UK, it is typically green and quite easy to identify from standard or fire-rated boards.
Can you use moisture resistant plasterboard in shower?
Yes, but only if it is protected with a tanking or waterproofing system. The board handles humidity well, but it is not designed for constant water contact.
How to fix moisture resistant plasterboard?
Join the boards to the timber or metal studs using drywall screws. If on a solid wall, bond them to the wall using approved adhesive. Then tape the joints, skim or tile the surface, and finish as needed.
For tiled areas, apply a primer and waterproof adhesive for long-term protection.
