Glasroc F MultiBoard 2400 X 1200 X 6MM SE
What is Glasroc F MultiBoard and who is it for

- Non-combustible construction with Class A1 and Class 0 fire ratings
- High impact resistance for durable internal and semi-exposed use
- Enhanced moisture-resistant performance for challenging environments
- Suitable for partitions, ceilings, and curved applications

Pre-installation checks
Before installation, inspect the board for any damage to edges or faces. Ensure your framing is square, level, and properly spaced according to your system design and local building regulations. Check that the building environment is suitable for installation, particularly in semi-exposed areas where the board's moisture tolerance is an advantage. Confirm that all fixings and adhesives are compatible with glass-reinforced gypsum plasterboard. Allow the board to acclimatise to site conditions for 24 hours before fixing if it has been stored in significantly different temperature or humidity conditions.
- Inspect board for damage before installation
