Fire Resistant Plasterboard

What is Fire board?

Fireboard is a specialised product which has a gypsum core and contains glass fibres and other non-combustible materials.

On the outside, fireboards just look like any other drywall. It differs to drywall because it’s more fire-resistant to slow down the spread of a fire from one room in your house, to other rooms.

The fibres act as reinforcement to keep the board from disintegrating as quickly as regular drywall. This combination makes for a solid barrier against the possibilities of fire, making it highly fire-resistant for when installed in the walls of your home.

Where are Fire boards Used?

Fireboards are used for walls, partitions, and ceilings. Fireboards have low thermal conductivity, non-combustible properties, and enhanced fire protection which makes them suitable for any building type and many building contractors will suggest fireproof plasterboard.

Fireboards are also used for new constructions or for the installation of cassette stoves where there is no existing chimney breast.

In addition, the fireproof properties of the plasterboard allow its usage in places where more stringent fire performance is needed, like domestic and commercial separating walls, garages, corridors, and steel encasement.

Popular Fireboards

Gypsum board, also known as drywall, is the most commonly used fire-resistant interior finish. Type X gypsum board is treated with additives to improve its fire-resistance property, making it a popular choice.
