Product Information

Full details

The XPS Laminate Plus Insulated Plasterboard is an ideal choice for contractors and DIY enthusiasts looking to enhance the thermal efficiency of interior walls and ceilings without sacrificing significant floor space. By combining a 9.5mm plasterboard face with a high-performance extruded polystyrene core, this product offers an effective solution for solid wall insulation and the reduction of cold bridging. While its 27mm slim profile is perfect for space-constrained areas, users should note that it requires proper mechanical fixing or adhesive backing to ensure structural integrity on uneven surfaces.

FAQs

Can I use this in a bathroom?

Yes, the XPS core is moisture-resistant, making it suitable for damp-prone areas, provided joints are properly sealed.

Is this board fire-rated?

The board features a standard plasterboard face, but you should consult local building regulations for specific fire-rating requirements in your project area.

What is the total thickness of the board?

The total thickness is 27mm, consisting of 9.5mm plasterboard bonded to the XPS insulation.

How should these boards be stored?

Store them flat in a dry, covered area, away from direct sunlight and heavy moisture to maintain structural integrity.

Can I fix heavy objects like cabinets to these boards?

You should use mechanical fixings that go through the board and into the structural wall behind, rather than fixing directly into the insulation layer.

Troubleshooting

Board edges are crumbling during installation

Use a finer saw blade and support the board fully while cutting to distribute pressure.

Adhesive failing to bond to the substrate

Ensure the wall is free of dust and loose paint; use a primer if the surface is porous or chalky.

Visible joints after skimming

Ensure boards are tightly butted together and use high-quality scrim tape at all joints before applying plaster.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal performance in a slim 27mm package
  • Highly resistant to moisture and water absorption
  • Suitable for both wall and ceiling applications
  • Durable core ensures long-term reliability and compressive strength
  • Reduces cold bridging effectively

Cons

  • Requires professional handling to prevent damage to board edges
  • Installation requires specific adhesives or mechanical fasteners
  • Limited acoustic dampening compared to dedicated acoustic boards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure that the substrate wall is dry, clean, and free from loose debris before installation. Use a recommended thermal board adhesive (dot and dab method) or mechanical fixings depending on the wall material. When cutting the boards, use a fine-tooth saw to ensure clean edges and avoid crushing the insulation core. Store the panels in a flat, dry, and protected environment to prevent moisture buildup or warping before use. Avoid placing heavy loads directly onto the edges of the boards during installation to prevent corner crumbling.
