Building (Basics)

Why I’m Passionate About Plasterboard (and You Should Be Too!)

When it comes to finishing your walls and ceiling, are you more focused on the paint color or the plasterboard underneath? If you’re leaning toward paint, I’m here to tell you that while paint adds personality, it’s the plasterboard that lays the foundation for a quality, durable finish. I’ve researched plasterboard options, and I want you to do the same! Unlike paint, plasterboard is a choice you won’t be revisiting anytime soon, so let’s make it count!

CSR Gyprock is my go-to for plasterboard, and there’s a reason it’s one of Australia’s most trusted brands. With options for every application, CSR Gyprock offers high-performance products that can truly enhance how you live in your home.

My personal favorite that I have used at our home The Maybe Forever? Gyprock HD (High Density) plasterboard. This premium choice not only improves sound insulation but also stands up to the everyday wear and tear of busy living which is what I am all about in my home!

Why Choose Gyprock HD?

Gyprock HD plasterboard is built with a high-density core, which means it absorbs and reduces noise, creating a quieter, more peaceful home environment. Additionally, its heavy-duty liner paper makes it resistant to dents and scuffs – a lifesaver in high-traffic areas like hallways, mudrooms, games rooms, and kids’ rooms. Sure, it costs a bit more upfront, but this investment in quality will impact your everyday comfort in ways that far outlast a new cushion or decorative throw.  I decided to use the Gyprock HD for pretty much everywhere in The Maybe Forever, but you can also use it in the rooms that need it the most.

And for Those Curved Wall Lovers…

If you’re like me and love a subtle arch or curved wall, CSR Gyprock Flexible plasterboard is the ideal choice. It’s specifically designed to work with curves, making it easier for your tradespeople to create smooth, flowing shapes that bring warmth and character into your home.  You can see at The Maybe Forever we have what I call a ‘classic arch’ on each level and these have all been created with the CSR Gyprock Flexible plasterboard.  And the subtle curved wall on the entry level again is another example of how we have used this plasterboard.

So when you’re planning your build or renovation, tell your builder you’re serious about the plasterboard. With Gyprock HD and Flexible plasterboard, you’re setting the stage for a beautiful, comfortable, and resilient home that you’ll love living in every day.
