Gypboard Plain is one of the plasterboards in the 'Our Range Includes' list for the boarding step of a Gyproc ceiling. The brochure gives no product specification beyond installation guidance. Installation guidance on the page: do the boarding with 6 x 4 ft gypsum boards, board length perpendicular to the ceiling section; fix with Gyproc 25 mm drywall screws at 150 mm spacing on the perimeter channel and 230 mm on ceiling sections, keeping screws 10 mm from the tapered edge and 13 mm from the square edge; stagger board joints to prevent cracks. The FAQ states in general that gypsum boards are commonly 4 ft x 6 ft with thickness typically 12.5 mm to 15 mm.
