Gyproc FireStop is a fire-resistant plasterboard designed with a reinforced gypsum core, glass fibre and special additives. It provides enhanced fire protection for interior walls and ceilings, making it suitable for residential, commercial and industrial buildings requiring higher fire-safety performance.
Gyproc FireStop is ideal for fire-rated partitions, ceilings, linings and structural protection zones. It is commonly used in offices, homes, commercial complexes, corridors, escape routes and areas where building codes demand a higher level of fire resistance.
Its gypsum core is reinforced with glass fibres and additives that slow heat transfer, resist structural breakdown and help the board maintain integrity during fire exposure. This gives walls and ceilings extra time before failure, improving occupant safety and evacuation time.
The standard FireStop board is not intended for high-moisture environments. However, Gyproc offers a FireStop MR variant designed for areas exposed to intermittent moisture, such as kitchens, utility spaces and semi-damp zones. Continuous wet exposure should still be avoided.
Gyproc FireStop boards are typically available in 12.5 mm and 15 mm thicknesses, with widths of 1200 mm and lengths ranging from 2400 mm to 3000 mm. These options provide flexibility for both low-height and full-height fire-rated system installations.
Yes. It uses the same installation method as standard boards, including score-and-snap cutting and screw-fixing on metal or gypsum framework. Only ensure the correct fire-rated system design, fasteners and jointing materials are used to maintain certified fire performance.
Yes, once jointing is completed using fibre or paper tape and jointing compound, the surface can be painted or finished with wallpaper. Ensure all surfaces are fully dry and properly sealed to maintain fire performance and aesthetic quality.
Gyproc FireStop complies with multiple international standards, including BS 1230 Type 5, EN 520 Type F and ASTM C1396 Type X. These certifications ensure that the board delivers proven, consistent fire-resistance performance across diverse building applications.
Yes. Despite its fire-resistant formulation, the board remains lightweight and easy to work with. Installers can cut it using standard plasterboard tools and handle it with minimal effort, provided basic safety gear such as gloves, masks and goggles are used.
It is compatible with most standard metal stud partitions, ceiling grids and fire-rated lining systems. However, to achieve the certified fire rating, it must be installed exactly as specified by Gyproc system guidelines, including fasteners, spacing and board layering.
