6mm and 9mm gypsum boards for flush plastered ceilings, suspended ceilings and bulkheads. Always in stock at our Edenvale warehouse.
Gypsum ceiling boards form the base of any plastered or suspended ceiling system. Whether you’re doing a standard flush ceiling, a feature bulkhead, or a curved architectural design, the board you choose determines the quality of the finished result. We stock both sizes below — always on the shelf, ready to go.
The 6mm gypsum board is our thinnest and most flexible ceiling board, making it the go-to choice for curved ceiling designs, decorative arches, bulkheads and lightweight ceiling applications. Its square edge profile screws directly to steel or timber brandering for a seamless finish that is ready to skim. Lightweight and easy to handle, it reduces structural load and speeds up installation significantly.
Bends to radius ceilings, decorative arches and curved architectural features that standard boards cannot achieve.
Reduces structural load and speeds up installation — ideal for large-area ceilings and bulkheads.
Accepts skimming plaster or direct decoration once installed and jointed.
Manufactured to fit into a standard 7mm bishop or H-strip profile for a clean concealed edge.

Compatible with jointing systems for crack-free, seamless joints between boards.
