Gypsum Drywall Boards
12mm standard, fire-rated and moisture-resistant boards for internal drywall partitions. All sizes in stock at our Edenvale warehouse.
12mm standard, fire-rated and moisture-resistant boards for internal drywall partitions. All sizes in stock at our Edenvale warehouse.
Drywall boards form the skin of every internal partition. The board type you specify determines the fire, moisture and acoustic performance of the completed wall — getting this right is not optional. We stock the full range below, always on the shelf, so your job doesn’t wait.
The 12mm gypsum board is the standard choice for internal walls and partitions in both residential and commercial applications. The increased thickness over 9mm provides greater strength and durability, making it well-suited for high-traffic areas. It is lightweight, easy to cut and install, and carries a good fire resistance rating when used in compliant partition systems.
Greater impact resistance than 9mm board — suitable for high-traffic corridors and commercial partition walls.
Offers up to 60 minutes fire resistance in compliant single-boarded partition systems.
Stocked in 2.4m, 2.7m, 3.0m and 3.6m lengths — all 1.2m wide.
Score-and-snap cutting, lightweight handling, and standard drywall screws make installation fast and clean.

The 12mm Fire Board is a high-performance, fire-resistant gypsum plasterboard engineered for enhanced safety in construction. Its dense gypsum core is reinforced with glass fibres and encased in distinctive pink paper liners for easy on-site identification. It minimises fire spread while providing a smooth surface for finishing — an essential specification for compliant building projects. Standard board sizes are 2700mm & 3000mm x 1200mm and weigh approximately 10kg/m².
Slows flame propagation and heat transfer — delivering critical fire resistance in compliant wall and ceiling systems.
Reinforced gypsum core maintains integrity under sustained heat, outperforming standard boards in fire conditions.
Pink paper liner makes it instantly recognisable on site — no confusion with standard or moisture board.
Smooth pink paper accepts standard plasters, paints and wallpapers. Prime first for best adhesion.

The 15mm Fire Board is a premium, thicker fire-rated gypsum plasterboard with a high-density gypsum core reinforced with glass fibres. Engineered for extended durability, it provides up to 60 minutes of fire resistance in single-layer setups and up to 120 minutes in double-layer systems — the specification for hotels, hospitals, server rooms and any high-risk zone where extended evacuation time is critical. Each board weighs approximately 14kg/m².
Double-boarded systems achieve 120 minutes — the specification for hotels, hospitals and high-risk commercial buildings.
Greater mass and density than 12mm fire board — adds rigidity and structural support to non-loadbearing partitions.
Greater thickness provides improved sound insulation — pairs with cavity batts for enhanced partition performance.
Compatible with steel stud framing, fire-rated jointing systems and standard finishing products.

The 12mm Moisture Board is a high-density, water-resistant gypsum plasterboard specifically engineered for humid and damp environments. Its core is treated with moisture-repellent additives and reinforced with glass fibres, then wrapped in a distinctive green paper liner for instant on-site recognition. It resists humidity and occasional water exposure without warping, swelling or encouraging mould growth — making it the correct board for bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and any wet area application.
Resists humidity and splash water — absorbs less than 5% water, preventing the swelling and mould growth that standard board suffers.
Provides a stable, smooth surface for ceramic tiles, mosaic or large-format tiles in bathrooms and kitchens.
Inhibits fungal growth — ensures long-term hygiene and air quality in enclosed, high-humidity spaces.
Green paper liner is immediately recognisable on site — eliminates the risk of using standard board in wet areas.
