Multishield

Multishield is a fire, water and mould resistant plasterboard made with a gypsum core and recycled blue liner paper.  It combines the benefits and properties of Fireshield and Watershield.

It is recommended for the lamination of the central fire barrier in the Interhome system, and together with Intershield, Multishield provides superior protection against mould forming on the central fire barrier during construction.

Multishield is also suitable for use in wet areas such as bathrooms, showers, toilets and laundries; and external walls behind cladding where an FRL (Fire Resistance Level) is required.

It is used for internal linings in residential, commercial or industrial applications where a Fire Resistance Level (FRL) is required with the added requirement of water resistance.

Multishield is used in load-bearing and non-load bearing applications and performs well where acoustic properties are also required. It is most commonly used in commercial projects.

Please note that not all sizes listed in the table below are available in all locations - please refer to your supplier for all available sizes in your region. Special sizes and other edge types available, minimum order quantity and lead times may apply.

Further information

  • 16mm Multishield is recommended for laminating the central fire barrier in the Interhome system
  • Ideal substrate for tiles in wet areas

Benefits:

  • Meets the requirements for fire and water-resistant applications 
  • Contains a powerful mould inhibitor
