The existing types of plasterboard have directly to do with their additives, resistance, and thickness.
There are usually around five types of plasterboard, with different characteristics and prices:
– N boards, or standard
, are the most common boards, made of high-quality white plaster and light grey or white cellulose. This material is the one most used in all decoration and masonry applications.
– TEC boards have characteristics very similar to standard boards. These boards are, however, more resistant and are, therefore, widely used for the construction of continuous ceilings.
– WA boards—These drywall boards are treated to gain water resistance, making them water-repellent. The treatment includes incorporating silicone oil into the outer layers and plaster core. Usually, these boards have a green cellulose layer to be easily identifiable and are widely used in kitchens and bathrooms.
– FOC plates—These plates incorporate fibreglass into the plaster core, making them very fire-resistant. To distinguish them, they are generally pink in the outer cellulose layer.
– FON boards are noise-isolating boards. These plates are perforated, and the surface cellulose includes fibreglass to improve acoustic absorption. They are excellent for public spaces, such as hotels, cinemas and restaurants, but they are also used in residential projects.
– GD boards are the most resistant to impacts and shocks and are called high-hardness. This material is ideal for bustling spaces with intense traffic of people, hospitals, commercial establishments or schools.
