Gyprock Aquachek 10mm offers the same moisture resistance and tile weight capacity, now in a lighter board that is easier to work with. The 10mm wall and ceiling plasterboard is designed as the perfect lining for wet areas in residential applications.

Product Overview

The core, face and back of Gyprock Aquachek 10mm are treated to make it resistant to moisture and humidity without compromising integrity. It is specifically designed for use as a wall and ceiling lining in wet areas of residential buildings. It can be easily identified by its blue coloured face paper. Gyprock Aquachek 10mm is manufactured to meet or exceed the requirements of water-resistant grade gypsum plasterboard as per AS/NZ 2588 Gypsum Plasterboard and satisfies the requirements of the Building Code of Australia for wet area wall linings in residential buildings when installed according to Gyprock installation guides. Refer to Australian Standard AS3740 - Waterproofing of Wet Areas in Residential Buildings for additional requirements.

Typical Applications

In residential projects Gyprock Aquachek 10mm is ideal for use in bathrooms, laundries, ensuites, toilets and protected external ceilings like soffits and verandahs. Because Aquachek 10mm is not subject to moisture movement and has extremely low water absorption characteristics, it provides an excellent, stable substrate for ceramic tiles.

Tested Moisture Performance

Gyprock wet area plasterboard products are manufactured with special additives to enhance the moisture resistance of their core. The additives also permeates the face and back paper of the board, delivering superior performance in wet area and high humidity applications.

• Water resistance

Water resistance is tested by submerging a sample of plasterboard in a body of water for two hours.

• Surface water resistance

Surface water resistance testing sees the plasterboard sample weighed pre-and-post surface exposure to water.
