Tapered Edge Plasterboard
Tapered plasterboard has unique angled edges that create seamless joints on walls and ceilings, giving them a uniform, desirable look in both living and working spaces.
What is tapered plasterboard?
Also called TE plasterboard or feather edge plasterboard, these boards have edges that narrow gently. This shape allows joint compound to fill the gap evenly, leaving the surface flat and continuous.
Drywall tapered edge boards provide a neat finish, making them the preferred choice for projects where aesthetics are part of the design.
What is TE plasterboard used for?
Tapered plasterboard is great for:
- Drylining
- Internal walls and ceilings
- Spaces prone to occasional moisture, such as specific kitchen zones
- Professional interiors like offices and shops
- Any project that requires smooth, continuous wall or ceiling finishes.
