Tapered Edge Plasterboard Soundshield+
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.

Can you use tapered edge plasterboard on ceiling?
Yes, drywall tapered edge boards are suitable for ceilings.
- Position the boards so they are perpendicular to the ceiling joists. Check that the tapered edges line up.
- Fill the joints with compound and use reinforcing tape to further strengthen them and keep the surface smooth.
- Allow it to dry, then sand it down for uniformity.
The ceiling is now ready for skimming if a plastered finish is desired.
How to fit tapered edge plasterboard?
Fix the panel to timber or metal studs using drywall screws. Tape the joints and fill the tapered edges, then finish by skimming or painting.
Why does plasterboard have a tapered edge?
To accommodate joint tape and compound for a flush finish. The taper creates a small groove for joint filler to sit flush. This seemingly simple design reduces visible seams and makes finishing easier.
Why use tapered edge plasterboard?
