Plasterboard with PIR Insulation

Introducing our premium plasterboard panels integrated with PIR (polyisocyanurate) insulation – the ideal solution for modern homes and commercial projects that demand superior thermal performance, fire resistance, and space‑saving construction. By combining the familiar ease of traditional plasterboard with the cutting‑edge thermal qualities of PIR foam, this hybrid product delivers a cost‑effective, space‑efficient, and fire‑safe solution for today’s building standards. It meets UK Building Regulations for energy efficiency and fire safety, helping architects, builders, and homeowners achieve high‑performance envelopes without the bulk of conventional insulation layers. Upgrade your next project with plasterboard that works smarter, not harder -providing comfort, safety, and sustainability in one sleek, easy‑to‑install package.

CHARACTERISTICS

• High‑Performance Insulation – Each panel incorporates a thin yet highly efficient PIR core, delivering higher R‑values per thickness. This helps keep interiors warm in winter and cool in summer, reducing heating and cooling costs.
• Fire‑Resistant Core – PIR’s inherent fire‑retardant properties give the board a Class A fire rating, providing added safety without compromising structural integrity.
• Slim Profile, Maximum Space – The insulated plasterboard offers the same thermal efficiency as much thicker conventional systems, freeing up valuable floor space.
• Easy Installation – Panels are lightweight, cut‑to‑size with a standard utility knife, and fit seamlessly into standard stud or joist frameworks. The surface is ready for finishing with plaster, paint, or wallpaper.
• Moisture‑Resistant Surface – The outer layer is treated to resist damp, making the boards suitable for internal walls, partitions, and ceilings in residential, office, and hospitality settings.

APPLICATION

• New‑build residential dwellings – external walls, internal partitions, and ceiling linings.
• Refurbishment projects – upgrading thermal performance without sacrificing headroom.
• Commercial premises – offices, hotels, and retail spaces where fire safety and energy efficiency are paramount.

Typical Fitting Methods

• Mechanical Fixing involves securing each plasterboard panel directly to the supporting framework (timber joists, metal studs, or a secondary furring channel) with screws or special fasteners. The method can be carried out with battens (additional wooden or metal strips fixed to the main structure) or without battens, attaching straight to the primary framing.
• The “dot & dab” method secures plasterboard panels to the substrate using a strong, quick‑setting adhesive (commonly a polymer‑based or cement‑based fixing paste). Small “dots” of paste are applied to the back of the board, and the board is pressed onto the wall or ceiling (“dab”). No mechanical fasteners are used, although a few supplementary screws are often added for extra security.
