Application Instructions
- Use for internal walls and partitions where high impact resistance is required (corridors, stair-wells, public areas).
- Fix onto approved stud framing (metal or timber) using recommended screws and spacing as per drywall system guidelines.
- Joints must be staggered; use joint tape and compound or skim-coat as per finishing system instructions.
- Suitable for single-board systems to give “Severe Duty” rating under relevant standards.
- After finishing (plaster / skim / paint), the board gives a smooth, durable wall surface ready for use.
Suitable Applications
- Internal walls in commercial buildings: offices, retail spaces, corridors
- Institutional buildings: schools, hospitals, public buildings, passageways
- Residential buildings — walls needing better durability or impact resistance
- High-traffic areas: stairwells, hallways, communal spaces
- Any partition/wall where longevity and resistance to knocks or wear is needed
Compatibility & Limitations
- Compatible with standard stud framing and gypsum finishing systems
- Not designed for external use or areas with continuous moisture exposure (unless using moisture-resistant board)
- Non load-bearing; not for structural walls bearing heavy structural loads — only for partitions/wall linings
Safety & Handling
- Store boards flat on a leveled, dry surface until installation.
- Handle boards carefully — lift from long edge to avoid damaging edges or surface paper.
- Cut or trim boards using a sharp knife or plasterboard saw; wear gloves and dust protection while cutting.
- After fixing, finish joints properly before painting or plastering for best durability and finish quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
RhinoBoard DuraLine 15 mm is meant for internal walls and partitions in high-traffic or heavy-use areas like corridors, stairwells, offices and public buildings. Its high-density core gives better impact resistance and durability than standard plasterboards.
Because DuraLine’s denser core and robust construction resist knocks, wear and frequent use. It’s ideal for spaces where regular plasterboard may get dented or damaged, offering longer life and less maintenance.
Yes — especially in homes where walls may get frequent impact (e.g. children’s rooms, apartments, shared walls) and you want extra durability and longevity compared to standard drywall.
Absolutely. DuraLine is designed for offices, schools, hospitals, public buildings and other commercial interiors — anywhere you need tough, long-lasting partitions that resist damage under heavy use.
Yes — after fixing, joints should be taped and filled, then the surface can be plastered, skim-coated or painted just like a normal gypsum board for a clean, professional finish.
Yes. Because of its density and thickness, DuraLine provides better acoustic and insulation properties compared to lighter boards — useful in offices, apartments or shared buildings requiring noise control.
Yes. DuraLine meets relevant plasterboard standards and offers fire-resistant performance when installed correctly as part of a partition system.
DuraLine is not designed for external walls or wet areas (bathrooms, kitchens) without a moisture-resistant board. It’s also non-load bearing — not for structural walls that support building loads.
Mount on approved stud framing (metal or timber), ensure correct screw and joint spacing, stagger joints, and finish with tape + joint compound or skim-coat/plaster before painting.
Corridors, stairwells, schools, hospitals, offices, retail interiors, shared apartment buildings — anywhere walls face frequent impact, heavy traffic or require long-term durability.
