The Corex Fire Plasterboard is a high-performance, non-combustible gypsum board designed for applications where enhanced fire protection, dimensional stability and reliable mechanical performance are required. Suitable for a wide range of internal and external construction applications, it is particularly well suited to structural steel protection, shaft walls, wall systems, ceilings, cladding and other passive fire protection installations.

Manufactured to provide superior fire resistance, it achieves a Euroclass A1 reaction-to-fire classification in accordance with EN 13501-1. This makes it suitable for construction projects where non-combustible materials are required to help limit the spread and development of fire.

In addition to its fire performance, the board offers good thermal characteristics, with a declared thermal conductivity of 0.25 W/mK. Its stable composition helps minimise dimensional movement, reducing the risk of shrinkage and expansion after installation and helping maintain the integrity of completed wall, ceiling and fire protection systems.

Corex Fire Plasterboard is designed with ease of installation in mind. The boards can be installed horizontally or vertically depending on the requirements of the system and offer good resistance to fractures during handling and installation. This combination of durability and straightforward workability can help improve installation efficiency on both new-build and refurbishment projects.

The material is also breathable, helping contribute to a healthier internal environment while providing a robust solution for demanding construction applications. Available in a range of thicknesses including 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 20mm and 25mm, with standard board dimensions of 2400mm x 1200mm, it allows installers and specifiers to select an appropriate board for different performance requirements.
