Buying water-resistant plasterboard: a checklist
Match the water-resistant plasterboard to the room and the documented lining system. Review the intended finish and any waterproofing detail with the installer before deciding on dimensions, quantities and compatible jointing products.
Define the selection
Coordinate the lining decision with the responsible wet-area and finishing trades. Request the current installation guide for the selected product and have the project-specific interfaces confirmed before preparing quantities.
Check before comparing products
- Intended room and exposure.
- Specified board and waterproofing interface.
- Sheet size, fixings and jointing materials.
Build a material list that can be checked
Record the selected product name or SKU, each required size and the quantity for each work area. Use the actual listed coverage when estimating packs or boards, and confirm the allowance with your installer. Include compatible accessories and keep a copy of the agreed selections.
