What is Insulated Plasterboard?

• Insulated plasterboard is a composite building material combining rigid insulation (typically PIR or polystyrene) with a plasterboard layer
• Designed to provide thermal insulation and a smooth internal finish in one product
• Commonly used for internal walls, ceilings, and retrofit insulation upgrades
• Helps meet modern building regulations for energy efficiency and thermal performance

Benefits of Insulated Plasterboard

• Improved Thermal Efficiency – Reduces heat loss and lowers energy bills
• Space-Saving Solution – Combines insulation and plasterboard in a single board
• Quick Installation – Minimises labour time compared to separate insulation systems
• Enhanced Comfort – Maintains consistent indoor temperatures
• Moisture & Condensation Control – Reduces risk of damp issues
• Versatile Applications – Suitable for walls, ceilings, and pitched roofs

Applications of Insulated Plasterboard

• Internal wall insulation upgrades
• Loft and attic conversions
• Solid wall insulation (internal side)
• Garage conversions
• Ceilings requiring additional thermal performance
• New build and refurbishment projects

Practical Uses of Insulated Plasterboard :

Insulated plasterboard is particularly useful in situations where space is limited but high thermal performance is required. It's ideal for:

• Internal Wall Insulation: For upgrading the thermal performance of existing walls or in new build projects.
• Roof and Loft Conversions: Providing insulation and a ready-to-plaster surface in one.
• Basements and Cellars: Where damp and cold are concerns, these boards can offer both insulation and moisture resistance. 

Selection Guide For Insulated Plasterboard | Insulation Plasterboard :

When selecting the appropriate product, consider the following:

• Thermal Requirements: Higher insulation values are necessary in colder climates or for energy-efficient buildings.
• Space Constraints: Some boards offer higher insulation values in thinner profiles.
• Specific Use Cases: Like moisture-prone areas or high-traffic spaces where durability is key.

Each product in this category is designed to meet various building standards and efficiency requirements. Remember, while selecting, it's essential to consider the specific needs of your project to choose the most suitable insulated plasterboard.

Installation Tips

FAQs – Insulated Plasterboard

What thickness of insulated plasterboard do I need?

The required thickness depends on your insulation goals and building regulations. Thicker boards generally provide better thermal performance.

Can insulated plasterboard be used on solid walls?

Yes, it is commonly used for internal solid wall insulation to improve energy efficiency without external alterations.

Is insulated plasterboard suitable for ceilings?

Yes, it can be installed on ceilings to reduce heat loss, especially in loft conversions or upper floors.

Do I need a vapour barrier with insulated plasterboard?

Some insulated plasterboards come with built-in vapour control layers. Otherwise, a separate vapour barrier may be required depending on the application.

How is insulated plasterboard installed?

It can be installed using the dot and dab method, mechanical fixings, or fixed onto battens, depending on the wall type.

Can insulated plasterboard reduce energy bills?

Yes, by improving thermal efficiency and reducing heat loss, it helps lower heating costs over time.
