Combine durability, energy efficiency, and a premium finish with Plasterboards featuring XPS Insulation – the robust and moisture-resistant solution for modern interiors. These high-performance boards pair extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation with a quality plasterboard facing, providing reliable thermal performance and a smooth, ready-to-finish surface in one easy-to-install product. XPS insulation is known for its excellent compressive strength and moisture resistance, making it particularly well-suited to areas where damp or humidity may be a concern. Ideal for use on walls, ceilings, and roofs, these boards help reduce heat loss while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment and a professional finish. Lightweight yet durable, Plasterboards with XPS Insulation offer a simple and efficient way to upgrade insulation performance in both new-build and refurbishment projects. They’re quick to install and compatible with both mechanical and adhesive fixing methods, saving time on site while ensuring lasting results.
Key Characteristics
- Good thermal performance – XPS core provides effective insulation and energy efficiency.
- Excellent moisture resistance – suitable for use in humid or damp-prone areas.
- High compressive strength – durable and impact-resistant for long-term reliability.
- Smooth plasterboard finish – ready for painting, wallpapering, or direct decoration.
- Lightweight and easy to handle – simplifies installation and reduces labour time.
- Durable and dimensionally stable – retains shape and performance over time.
- Versatile application – suitable for walls, ceilings, and certain roof areas.
- Ideal for new-builds and refurbishments – adaptable for a wide range of construction types.
- Compatible with various fixing methods – works with mechanical or adhesive installation.
Where to Install
- Internal walls – provides insulation and a smooth finish in habitable rooms.
- Ceilings – reduces heat loss through upper levels while offering a clean surface.
- Pitched roofs and loft spaces – enhances insulation in sloped or confined areas.
- Basement and semi-basement walls – moisture-resistant insulation ideal for below-ground applications.
- Kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas – performs well in humid environments.
- Refurbishment projects – suitable for upgrading thermal performance in existing buildings.
- Timber or metal stud systems – fits easily within standard framing methods.
- Direct bonding to masonry – perfect for adhesive (dot and dab) installation.
Methods of Fitting
- Mechanical Fixings (with or without Battens)
Plasterboards with XPS insulation can be installed using mechanical fixings, either directly to the wall or onto timber or metal battens. This approach ensures a secure fit, particularly in areas requiring additional strength or stability.
- Dot and Dab (Adhesive Bonding)
For quicker installation, boards can be fixed directly to masonry surfaces using the dot and dab method. Adhesive is applied in dabs across the substrate, providing a firm bond and a smooth, even finish – ideal for refurbishment and upgrade works.
