Gyproc CoreBoard 19 x 598 x 3000 T/E Edge, High-Density Shaftwall Core Board

CoreBoard measures 19 mm in thickness, 598 mm in width, and 3000 mm in length. It uses a gypsum core with paper-facing panels, offering a balance of strength and lightness for interior applications. The board is rigorously tested for stability and strength and is designed to withstand typical interior temperatures.

CoreBoard is thicker and typically stronger than standard 12.5 mm plasterboards, delivering greater structural rigidity for partitions and ceilings while remaining relatively lightweight. This combination can reduce installation time and improve long-term performance in interior assemblies.

Use CoreBoard to form interior partitions and ceiling linings in offices, homes, and DIY projects. It’s suitable for non-structural interior walls, acoustic and aesthetic partitions, and areas where a smooth finish and easy cutting are advantageous.

Preparation: acclimate boards in the workspace and store flat. Cutting: use a utility knife or saw to score and snap along lines. Fixing: attach to timber or metal studs with drywall screws, spacing per project requirements. Finishing: apply joint compound over taped joints, sand smooth, and Prime/paint. For ceilings, ensure secure support and follow standard ceiling fixing practices to prevent sagging.

Pair CoreBoard with standard gypsum joint compounds, paper tape, and corner beads for clean joints. Use compatible drywall screws and fasteners sized for the board’s thickness and your stud material. Finish with sanding, sealing, and painting as you would with typical plasterboard installations.

Yes. CoreBoard is appropriate for interior ceilings, offering a strong yet lightweight panel that can be fixed to ceiling joists or metal framing. Ensure proper support and fixings to maintain a flat, durable ceiling finish.

Wear eye protection, a dust mask, and gloves when cutting or sanding to minimize dust exposure. Work in a well-ventilated area, keep cutting tools sharp for clean edges, and dispose of offcuts according to local regulations. Handle boards carefully to avoid cracks and injury.

CoreBoard offers a balance of strength, lightness, and ease of installation, which can reduce labour time and handling effort. Its robust performance for interior partitions and ceilings can lead to fewer touch-ups and durable results, delivering good long-term value for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

CoreBoard’s 19 mm thickness provides higher rigidity and load-bearing performance for partitions or ceilings that require extra strength. For lighter interior walls or non-load-bearing partitions, thinner boards like 12.5 mm plasterboards may be sufficient and more economical. Always match board thickness to the specific structural and acoustic requirements of your project.
