Gypsum Boards in Malta

Quadro 360 Installations & Supplies is a warehousing and wholesale supplier of Rigips gypsum boards in Malta. We stock a complete range of board types at our warehouse in Mriehel, Birkirkara, and supply contractors, developers, and project managers across the island. Whether you need a single pallet for a bathroom renovation or bulk quantities for a multi-storey development, we carry the right board for the job.

Selecting the correct gypsum board is critical. Using the wrong type leads to moisture damage, failed fire inspections, and poor acoustic performance. This page explains every board type we stock, where each one is used, and how to order from our Malta warehouse.

Gypsum Board Types We Supply

Standard Gypsum Board

Standard plasterboard is the most widely used board in residential and commercial construction. It consists of a gypsum core faced with heavy-duty liner paper on both sides. Standard boards are suitable for interior walls and ceilings in dry areas such as living rooms, bedrooms, corridors, and offices. They are available in 12.5mm and 15mm thicknesses, with standard sheet sizes of 1200mm x 2400mm and 1200mm x 2600mm.

Fire-Resistant (FR) Gypsum Board

Fire-resistant boards contain glass fibre reinforcement and mineral additives within the gypsum core, providing enhanced fire protection. These boards are required by building regulations in stairwells, escape routes, lift shafts, party walls between apartments, and any area where fire-rated construction is specified. A single layer of 15mm FR board on a metal stud frame can achieve up to 60 minutes of fire resistance; double-layer systems extend this further.

Moisture-Resistant (MR) Gypsum Board

Moisture-resistant boards are manufactured with a water-repellent gypsum core and green-tinted face paper. They are designed for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and any space where ambient humidity levels are elevated. In Malta's climate, MR boards are commonly specified in coastal apartments and ground-floor units prone to condensation. These boards are not waterproof but resist moisture absorption significantly better than standard boards.

External Board (Glasroc)

Glasroc external boards are glass-mat faced gypsum panels designed for outdoor and semi-exposed applications. Unlike paper-faced boards, Glasroc resists rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Common applications in Malta include balcony soffits, external fascia cladding, covered terraces, and perimeter walls in partially enclosed car parks. Quadro 360 supplied and installed Glasroc boards on several Maltese developments where external gypsum cladding was specified by the architect.

Combined Board

Combined boards integrate a gypsum face with an insulation backing, typically expanded polystyrene (EPS) or extruded polystyrene (XPS). These boards serve a dual purpose: they provide a smooth finished surface while adding thermal insulation to external walls. Combined boards reduce the number of installation steps and are particularly useful in renovation projects where wall thickness must be minimised.

Acoustic Gypsum Board

Acoustic boards are engineered with a higher-density gypsum core to improve sound insulation. They are specified in hotels, office partitions, recording studios, conference rooms, and residential party walls where noise transfer must be minimised. Acoustic boards are often used in combination with rock wool insulation within the stud cavity for maximum sound reduction.

• Bathrooms, kitchens, and wet areas: Moisture-resistant board
• Fire escape routes and party walls: Fire-resistant board
• Balconies, terraces, and external soffits: Glasroc external board
• Hotels, offices, and shared walls: Acoustic board, often with rock wool infill
• External walls requiring insulation: Combined board with EPS/XPS backing
