Standard & Insulated Plasterboard is to provide better insulation for both walls and ceilings. It comes in different thicknesses, which are used for both walls and ceilings. In addition to moisture resistance, some types of insulated plasterboard come with additional benefits. Thermally insulated boards help reduce the use of fuel and heating, thus increasing energy efficiency.
Insulated Plasterboard: What is it used for?
Insulated plasterboard is mostly used to line external walls, which are usually bricks that do not provide effective insulation. It is more cost-effective to use fibreglass or foam to insulate spaces between internal walls than insulated plasterboard. It is also possible to use insulated plasterboard for ceilings, which keeps heat from escaping.
