Fixing and buying guide

Who this product is for

Siniat dB Sound Plasterboard is specified for builders, contractors and serious DIY installers working on acoustic projects. It suits residential and commercial applications where sound insulation between spaces is essential—including party walls, office meeting rooms, music studios, or anywhere noise reduction is a building requirement or design priority.

Compatibility and installation

This board is engineered for use with timber or metal stud partitions, dry lining systems and suspended ceilings. As a Type DI board to EN 520, it meets British and European standards for gypsum plasterboards. Installation follows standard plasterboard fixing methods using drywall screws or nails into studs at appropriate centres. The acoustic benefits are optimised when combined with resilient fixings, cavity insulation and proper sealing of joints and penetrations.

• Compatible with timber and metal stud framing
• Suitable for partition walls, lining and ceiling applications
• Requires standard plasterboard fixings and joint treatment
• Performance enhanced by cavity insulation and sealed joints

Pack contents and coverage

Each pack contains 50 sheets of 2400mm x 1200mm x 15mm plasterboard, delivering 144 square metres of material. Calculate your requirement by measuring the total wall or ceiling area to be covered, then account for waste and offcuts—typically 5-10% extra is recommended for a first fix.

• 50 sheets per pack
• Sheet size: 2400mm length x 1200mm width x 15mm thickness
• Total coverage: 144 square metres
• Plan for 5-10% waste on cutting and fitting

Pre-installation checks

Before fixing, ensure your stud framework is square, level and properly spaced to support the board weight and provide adequate fixing points. Check that all structural elements are in place and any cavity insulation is fitted. Inspect boards for damage in transit and allow them to acclimatise to site conditions for 48 hours before installation. Confirm that joint compound, tape and finishing materials are compatible with acoustic plasterboard specifications.
