Key specs include a moisture-resistant core, waterproof-faced paper liners, sheet size 12.5 × 1200 × 2400 mm, and a thickness listed as 10.5 mm in the technical notes. It’s engineered to deliver both strength for walls and improved sound insulation.

Question 3

How does it improve acoustic performance?

Accepted Answer

The board is designed to optimize sound insulation by absorbing and dissipating sound within the wall assembly, helping to keep internal noise down and reduce transmission from outside environments.

Question 4

Where should I use this plasterboard?

Accepted Answer

Use it in interior, damp-prone areas where you need both moisture resistance and reliable wall strength—such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements, laundry rooms, and other humidity-prone spaces.

Question 5

How do I install Gyproc SoundBloc Moisture Resistant Plasterboard?

Accepted Answer

General steps: prepare a clean, dry substrate; cut boards to fit; fix boards to studs with appropriate drywall screws, typically starting along the edges and spacing screws evenly; leave a small gap at joints; apply joint tape and plaster or joint compound; sand smooth; prime and finish with paint or tile as needed.

Question 6

What tools and materials will I need for installation?

Accepted Answer

You’ll typically need a utility knife or drywall saw, tape measure, straight edge, drywall screws, a drill/driver, joint tape, joint compound, sanding block or screen, primer, and paint or tile adhesive for finishing.

Question 8

How does Gyproc SoundBloc Moisture Resistant compare with Gyproc Standard Plasterboard?

Question 10

Can I finish this board with paint or tile, and are there any special finishing steps?

Accepted Answer

You can finish with paint after priming, or tile over suitable surfaces with appropriate waterproof tile adhesive. For best results, seal joints with the recommended joint tape and compound, sand smooth, and prime before painting or tiling.

Question 11

What should I consider when deciding value and returns for this plasterboard?
