Supply & install fire-rated board
Fire-Rated Plasterboard Sydney
Some walls and ceilings need to resist fire for a set period — between a garage and a house, between units, in service cupboards, stairwells and common areas. We supply and install fire-rated plasterboard on small and medium jobs, and repair fire-rated walls and ceilings after damage or when services have been cut through.
Can you supply and install fire-rated plasterboard?
Yes. Sydney Plastering Service supplies and installs fire-rated plasterboard (fire-rated gyprock) where a job requires it — for example garage-to-house walls, walls and ceilings between units, service risers and strata common areas — and repairs damaged fire-rated walls and ceilings. The required system (board type, layers and fixing) depends on the fire-resistance level specified, so tell us the requirement or ask your builder or strata manager. Fire-rated plasterboard is installed and completed to code.

What is fire-rated plasterboard?
Fire-rated plasterboard has a specially formulated core that helps it resist fire for longer than standard plasterboard. It's installed as part of a tested system — the board, number of layers, framing and fixings all matter. That's why a fire-rated wall that's been patched with ordinary board may no longer meet its rating.
When it's needed
Common examples include the wall and ceiling between an attached garage and the house, walls between units, service shafts and cupboards, and some stairwells and corridors in strata buildings. Your builder, building manager or strata manager can confirm what's required for your building.
Repairs to fire-rated linings
Plumbers, electricians and data installers often need to cut into fire-rated walls and ceilings. Once they're done, the lining needs to be made good with the correct fire-rated board. We do this kind of repair regularly for strata buildings and property managers.
