Who is the large-format GKB board suitable for?

It is aimed at drywall contractors and interior finishing companies who want to economically clad larger wall and ceiling areas in dry interior spaces; you can find other formats and board types in our plasterboard category .

Areas of application and selection criteria

Typical applications and points you should clarify before buying:

• Wall and ceiling coverings in dry living and office spaces
• Metal and timber stud walls
• Suspended ceilings and attic cladding
• Interior wall linings
• For indoor use only, not for outdoor use.
• Choose an impregnated board for the bathroom and kitchen.
• Plan according to a tested system when meeting fire protection requirements
• Check the transport route for 1250 mm wide panels in advance.

Your advantage: economical cladding with few joints

With 2.50 m² per panel, you can cover large areas with few joints, which reduces the amount of filling required compared to narrow formats.

Choose the right plate

Crucial factors are the room's requirements for moisture and fire protection, as well as the transport routes on the construction site.

GKB or impregnated GKBI

For type A, DIN EN 520 does not specify a limited water absorption; the impregnated GKBI board in the same format is suitable for domestic bathrooms and kitchens .

1250 or 600 mm panel width

Where stairwells are narrow or when installing alone, the GKB board 2000 × 600 × 12.5 mm with 1.20 m² per board is more manageable.

Assembly and operating limits

Install the panel according to DIN 18181 on a substructure whose grid matches the panel width. The product page does not specify the manufacturer, edge profile, or fire behavior; for fire protection requirements, the panel selection must be based on the verified system documentation.
