Fire resistant plasterboard, also known as fire rated plasterboard or fire rated board, is manufactured with a specially formulated core designed to maintain structural integrity under fire conditions, helping contain the spread of fire for a specified period. It is used in partition walls, wall and ceiling lining systems and fire rated ceiling systems where building codes require a specific fire resistance rating, and features recessed edges, available in 13mm plasterboard and 16mm plasterboard thicknesses.

Suitable for both residential and commercial construction, fire rated plasterboard sheets are commonly specified in apartment buildings, commercial fit-outs, multi-residential projects and anywhere fire safety compliance is required.
