Plasterboard use:

Plasterboard 1800 x 900 is typically used when a smaller sized board is required as they are much lighter and easier to handle than the larger format boards.

Plasterboard ceiling

For use on both flat ceilings and sloped ceilings, plasterboard 1.8 x 0.9 can be used as just a basic covering to be plastered or decorated or can form part of a full system to insulate and soundproof ceilings in conjunction with other insulation materials. When a ceiling needs lowering, this can be achieved in conjunction with products from the MF Ceiling range.
