Drywall Technical Comparison Matrix: Standard, Moisture, Fire & Acoustic Boards

Standard White Plasterboard (EN 520 Type A) is engineered for dry internal environments such as bedrooms, living rooms, and dry office spaces without water-repellent additives. Moisture Resistant Green Board (EN 520 Type H2) incorporates hydrophobic silicone oil and specialized water-repellent additives within its gypsum core, guaranteeing total water absorption under 10% for bathrooms, kitchens, and humid zones.

Fire Resistant Gypsum Board (Type F) is reinforced with non-combustible glass fibers and vermiculite in its core. When installed in double-skin partition assemblies with galvanized steel studs and rockwool cavity insulation, it achieves certified fire ratings from EI 30, EI 60 up to EI 120 (2 hours) and EI 180 minutes of fire separation integrity.

High-Density Acoustic Boards (Type DFH2IR) feature a surface weight of 12.0 - 13.0 kg/m², which is 35-45% heavier than standard plasterboards. This increased mass law density delivers an additional 5 to 8 dB acoustic insulation improvement (Rw) in partition walls, making it the industry standard for hotel party walls, cinemas, and clinical consulting rooms.

Yes. Thanks to its non-woven fiberglass mat facers and mold-resistant core (EN 15283-1 Type GM-F-H1-I), BoardeX can be specified for extreme interior damp environments such as indoor commercial swimming pools, commercial laundries, and car wash tunnels. For normal drywall partitions, standard or green boards remain more cost-effective.

Absolutely. SerDrywall specializes in consolidated full container loads (FCL). You can combine e.g. 10 pallets of White Standard + 5 pallets of Moisture Resistant + 3 pallets of Fire Resistant boards, topped with galvanized CW/UW steel studs, screws, and joint compound to hit maximum 26,500 kg payload capacity.
