Gyproc boards offer high-quality and high-performance linings for walls, ceilings, lofts, kitchens, and more areas in domestic and commercial settings. Our handy guide helps you compare different plasterboard types from British Gypsum, and select the best choice for your project. We've also included some useful alternative plasterboard products from Siniat's GTEC range so you are sure to find stock in your area.

Performance keys for Gyproc include enhanced sound, enhanced moisture, tapered edge board, enhanced fire, enhanced thermal, square edge board, enhanced fixing, and enhanced robust performance

What type of plasterboard do you need?

Whether you’re searching for protection against fire or sound, resistance to moisture and impact, or enhanced thermal performance, Gyproc is the ultimate performer available on the market. Skip to standard plasterboards, ideal for projects with no special requirements. Or skip to performance plasterboards if you need enhanced properties to meet building regulations, user comfort, or for practical purposes. Keep an eye out for performance icons to identify where products have enhanced properties!
