12.5mm British Gypsum Gyproc FireLine 2.4m x 1.2m (Tapered Edge)

Gyproc FireLine is a fire-resistant plasterboard that enhances the protection within internal walls, partitions and ceilings. Its specially engineered gypsum core helps to delay heat transfer and maintain board integrity when exposed to fire, available in 12.5mm and 15mm thicknesses. It is commonly used where increased fire performance is required as part of a compliant lining system, while still providing a smooth, plaster-ready surface.

Benefits

• Improved fire protection
• Choice of thicknesses
• Smooth plaster-ready surface
• Versatile internal use
• Surface can be plastered, painted, papered or tiled
• Follow the standard dry-lining practices for cutting, fixing and joint finishing
• Maintains stability under elevated temperatures compared with standard plasterboard

Good to know

• Fire resistance is achieved as part of a complete wall or ceiling build-up, not from the board alone
• Thickness affects behaviour, 15mm offers increased fire performance
• Boards should not be used in high-moisture areas (Use FireLine MR for high-moisture walls)
• The board does not add structural strength, loads must be carried by the supporting frame
• Correct joint sealing and fixing patterns will help to achieve the best results
