Saint-Gobain Gyproc M2Tech Board, 15X1200X3000MM, Moisture & Mold Resistant Board for Healthy Interiors

Gyproc M2Tech Moisture and Mold Resistant Board is a gypsum plasterboard designed for interior walls and ceilings in damp environments. It uses Saint-Gobain's M2Tech construction to improve moisture tolerance and mold resistance while maintaining strength and ease of installation. The board is 12.5 mm thick and typically supplied in large sheets suitable for covering walls or ceilings efficiently.

Specifications include a thickness of 12.5 mm, standard sheet sizes around 1200 x 3000 mm (with other widths potentially available), and a gypsum plaster core reinforced for added strength. It features M2Tech moisture and mold resistance and may include perforated boundaries to improve air flow and reduce mold risk.

Yes. It is intended for interior walls and ceilings in damp areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, and it’s suitable for indoor wet environments. It’s lightweight and easy to install, making it a good choice for renovation or new-build projects in moisture-prone spaces.

Gyproc M2Tech is engineered specifically for moisture and mold resistance, offering improved performance in damp conditions compared with standard gypsum boards. Compared to Gyproc Habito (a high-strength board) and Gyproc MR boards (general moisture resistance), M2Tech focuses on controlling humidity and mold risk while remaining suitable for interior walls and ceilings. For direct product-to-product comparisons, see the Habito and MR board pages on Fepy: https://fepy.com/product/gyproc-habito-plasterboard and https://fepy.com/product/gyproc-moisture-resistant-board-12-5mm.

General installation steps: measure and mark the layout, cut the board with a utility knife, fix sheets to studs using corrosion-resistant drywall screws spaced about 200–300 mm apart, trim openings for outlets, apply joint tape over seams, cover with joint compound, sand to a smooth finish, then prime and paint. Ensure edges at walls and ceilings are properly taped and sealed to maintain moisture resistance.

Yes. You can finish with moisture-resistant primer, paint, or wallpaper. Use water-based, low-VOC primers and paints suitable for humid environments. When tiling or applying heavy finishes near damp zones, follow substrate preparation guidelines to preserve the board’s moisture resistance.

Gyproc M2Tech boards typically conform to plasterboard safety standards and indoor air quality guidelines. They are designed to meet relevant European/industry standards (such as EN 520 classifications for plasterboards) and are formulated to minimize VOCs and other emissions in indoor environments. Always refer to the packaging and local codes for the exact certification details.

The board is 12.5 mm thick, with common sheet sizes around 1200 x 3000 mm. Some listings may show alternative widths (e.g., up to 2.4 m) depending on batch or packaging. Refer to the specific product listing for the exact size available for purchase.

- Gyproc Habito: a high-strength plasterboard optimized for load-bearing and impact resistance; great for walls that need extra strength, but may be heavier and less focused on moisture control than M2Tech. - Gyproc MR Board: a moisture-resistant gypsum board designed for damp interiors, similar in purpose to M2Tech but with different performance emphasis.

Use cases include interior partition walls and ceilings in kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, basements, and other damp environments. It’s suitable for both new constructions and renovations where moisture and mold resistance is beneficial, helping to maintain long-term durability and finish quality in humid spaces.

Yes. Use standard drywall screws compatible with gypsum boards, joint tape and joint compound for seams, corner beads for edges, and appropriate adhesives or fasteners recommended for moisture-rated applications. Ensure fasteners are corrosion-resistant and spaced per typical drywall installation guidelines.

Gyproc M2Tech offers targeted moisture and mold resistance with a balance of install ease and durability for interior damp spaces. It can be a cost-effective option when you need reliable performance in bathrooms or kitchens, potentially reducing maintenance and replacement costs over time compared with standard boards, while providing a competitive option against Habito or MR boards depending on your project needs.
