Insulated plasterboard, sometimes called thermal board, is standard plasterboard with a layer of rigid insulation bonded to the back. It is fixed to the inside of an external wall and then skimmed, so you get insulation and a smooth new wall finish in one job.

- Rooms with condensation and black mould on external walls
- Extensions, loft rooms and garage conversions
- Whole-house renovations where walls are being replastered anyway
Insulation Fitted Before Plastering
As well as insulated boards, we can fit insulation between timber studs or battens before boarding and skimming. We will recommend the right approach for your walls and the space you have available.
Things to Consider
-
Room size
Insulated board adds thickness to the wall, so we will discuss the options with you
-
Sockets, switches and radiators
These may need moving forward by an electrician or plumber
-
Window reveals
Reveals are usually insulated too, to avoid cold spots around windows
-
Building Regulations
Larger insulation projects may need to meet Building Regulations. We will flag this if it applies to your job.
Insulated Plasterboard FAQs
Does insulated plasterboard stop condensation?
It helps by making the wall surface warmer, which reduces condensation. Good ventilation is still important.
How thick is insulated plasterboard?
Boards come in a range of thicknesses. Thicker boards insulate better but take up more room. We will help you choose.
Can you do just one wall?
Yes. Insulating just the coldest external wall in a room is a common and cost-effective choice.
