GKBI impregnated gypsum board (type H2), 2000 × 600 × 12.5 mm
The impregnated GKBI gypsum board, measuring 2000 × 600 × 12.5 mm, is classified as type H2 according to DIN EN 520 and is designed for cladding walls and ceilings in damp rooms such as bathrooms or kitchens. With a width of 600 mm and an area of 1.20 m² per board, it is significantly more manageable than larger format boards. The boards are sold individually.
Who is the narrow GKBI panel suitable for?
It is aimed at drywall contractors, interior finishing companies and experienced DIYers who are cladding bathrooms, kitchens or utility rooms and often work alone or via narrow stairwells; you can find other board types and formats in our plasterboard category .
Areas of application and selection criteria
Typical applications and points you should clarify before buying:
- Wall coverings and partition walls in domestic bathrooms and kitchens
- Ceiling coverings in rooms with temporarily elevated humidity
- Partition walls in interior construction with regard to damp areas
- Attic and old building conversions with limited transport routes
- For indoor use only, not for outdoor use.
- Seal splash zones additionally according to DIN 18534
- Adjust the stud or slat grid to a panel width of 600 mm.
- Calculate the required area at 1.20 m² per panel, plus allowance for waste.
Your advantage: handy format for damp rooms
The 600 mm wide panel can also be carried through narrow stairwells and attics, while the impregnation reduces water absorption compared to a standard panel.
GKBI or GKB: choosing the right board
The crucial factor is how much the room is affected by moisture and whether water directly impacts the surface.
What type H2 according to DIN EN 520 means
Type H2 limits the total water absorption after two hours of water storage to a maximum of 10%; for dry living spaces, the GKB gypsum board in the same format is sufficient .
600 or 1250 mm panel width
For large, easily accessible areas, the GKBI panel 2000 × 1250 × 12.5 mm with 2.50 m² per panel reduces the number of joints.
Assembly and operating limits
The impregnation does not replace waterproofing: According to DIN 18534, gypsum boards are designed for water exposure classes W0-I and W1-I, whereby waterproofing is always required in W1-I, for example on walls in showers or above bathtubs. The product page does not specify the manufacturer, edge profile, or fire behavior; the information on the delivered board is authoritative.
