About this product
This insulated plasterboard offers a robust solution for internal wall linings, ideal for larger projects like extensions, garage conversions, or significant renovations. Constructed from a 25mm PIR insulation core bonded to 12.5mm plasterboard, it significantly reduces the need for separate insulation fixing, streamlining your build process. The combination delivers improved thermal performance – boosting U-values – without substantially compromising internal space.
A full pallet of twenty boards provides an impressive 28.8m² of coverage, sufficient for demanding projects and offering a practical choice when covering larger areas such as extensions or garages. This size – 1200mm x 1200mm x 37.5mm – is suitable for achieving a professional finish on substantial wall surfaces.
Designed for planned, bulk building work rather than smaller remedial tasks, this premium-grade material is best suited to projects where the full pallet’s capacity will be utilised. It's important to note that due to its size and delivery requirements, it’s primarily targeted at builders and contractors undertaking larger construction jobs. Careful consideration should be given to the logistical aspects of receiving a full pallet – planning your build around this delivery is recommended.
