Saint-Gobain Gyproc Duraline Plasterboard

specifications: thickness 15 mm; size 1200 mm x 2400 mm; six‑layer product; gypsum-based core with heavyweight backing paper; designed for high impact resistance, superior fire rating, and increased sound reduction; easy to install because of the ultra‑thin core; provides smooth levelling and protection against dust and dirt.

It is ideal for commercial spaces and other high‑traffic areas where durability, fire performance, and sound reduction are important considerations, such as offices, retail environments, and education facilities.

Gyproc Duraline offers a higher fire rating and better sound reduction than standard plasterboard, making it a superior choice for spaces where safety and acoustic control are priorities.

General installation steps: prepare a clean substrate, cut boards to size with a utility knife, fix with appropriate plasterboard screws, apply joint tape and joint compound to seams, sand smooth, and finish with suitable paints or coatings. For ceilings, ensure proper support and follow recommended screw spacing to maintain stability.

Common items include a utility knife, straight edge, tape measure, drywall screws, a drill/driver, joint tape, joint compound, sanding block or sander, a scraper, and finishing materials like plasterboard paper tape and paint.

Compared to Gyproc Standard Plasterboard (12.5 mm), Duraline offers higher durability, better impact resistance, and enhanced acoustics.

Yes. Gyproc Duraline is suitable for both wall and ceiling applications, delivering durable performance in either orientation when installed correctly.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting (eye protection, dust mask). Work in a well‑ventilated area to minimize dust. Handle boards carefully to avoid cracks, and dispose of waste according to local regulations. Use proper cutting tools to maintain clean edges and reduce dust generation.

Best use cases include high-traffic commercial interiors, spaces requiring strong impact resistance, enhanced fire performance, and improved sound control—areas where durability, safety, and acoustic performance justify the premium over standard boards.

Store boards flat and off the ground, under a cover to protect from moisture and damage. Keep them in dry, climate-controlled environments and avoid bending or stamping on the boards. Use helper grips or supports when carrying to prevent warping or cracking.
