Plasterboard questions for merchant buyers.
Compare board families, edges, dimensions and pallet information in the BEAM boards technical range.
What types of plasterboard does FENCYX supply?
The BEAM boards range includes standard RG, moisture-resistant MR, fire-resistant FR and specialist board families including Soundblock and Vapor Bar. Check the current technical tables for dimensions, edge types and pallet quantities.
What is the difference between tapered-edge and square-edge plasterboard?
A tapered edge is shaped to support jointing and a flush finished surface, while a square edge is a straight board edge. The current BEAM boards tables identify the edge type for each listed item.
What is moisture-resistant plasterboard used for?
Moisture-resistant plasterboard is intended for internal areas where additional humidity resistance is required. It is not automatically a waterproofing system, so the complete construction and current product documentation must be checked for wet-room applications.
What is fire-resistant plasterboard used for?
Fire-resistant plasterboard is used where the specified wall, ceiling or partition system requires improved fire performance. The required board, layers, framing and installation method depend on the tested system and project specification.
Can I buy plasterboard by the pallet?
FENCYX supplies plasterboard for pallet and volume merchant requirements. Pallet quantities vary by board family and item, so confirm the current quantity and delivery terms when requesting a quotation.
What does TE or SE mean in the BEAM boards tables?
TE means tapered edge and SE means square edge. An item marked TE*/SE* should be checked against the current product information or quotation for the supplied configuration.
Which plasterboard thicknesses and dimensions are available?
The current BEAM boards tables list the available thicknesses, lengths, widths and edge types by board family. Use the technical range as the starting point, then ask FENCYX to confirm the current item and quantity for your quotation.
Questions about cement-board supply and applications.
Review the cement-board range before requesting trade pricing.
What are cement boards used for?
Cement boards provide a durable board surface for applications such as lining, backing, tile-related work and demanding trade environments. The correct board, fixing method and waterproofing system depend on the complete application.
Can cement board be used as a tile backer?
Cement board is commonly selected as a tile-backing substrate in suitable wet or demanding applications. Confirm the board, joint treatment, tanking and fixing system against the project requirements before specifying.
What is the difference between cement board and moisture-resistant plasterboard?
They are different board systems with different compositions, performance characteristics and application requirements. Choose between them using the complete wall or ceiling specification rather than moisture exposure alone.
Can FENCYX supply cement boards for pallet or project requirements?
FENCYX handles cement-board enquiries as live trade requirements. Send the board type, thickness, quantity and delivery postcode so the team can confirm the available supply route.
Insulation questions for trade buyers.
Use the ROCKAL 45 product information alongside the current project specification.
What is ROCKAL 45 insulation?
ROCKAL 45 is a stone wool insulation panel supplied by FENCYX for trade requirements. The product information describes thermal, acoustic and fire-protection properties; current dimensions and suitability should be confirmed for each project.
What do lambda, R-value and U-value mean?
Lambda describes thermal conductivity, R-value describes resistance to heat flow, and U-value describes heat transfer through a complete building element. They are related but are not interchangeable when specifying an insulation build-up.
Is a lower lambda value better for thermal insulation?
A lower lambda value generally indicates lower thermal conductivity, but the required performance depends on the complete build-up, thickness, installation and target U-value.
Roofing-felt questions for merchant supply.
Compare the current March Felt and Scott Felt range before requesting a quote.
Does FENCYX supply roofing-felt underlay and capsheet?
The FENCYX roofing-felt range includes selected March Felt and Scott Felt underlay and capsheet configurations. Review the listed roll formats and product data, then request a current trade quotation.
What is the difference between roofing-felt underlay and capsheet?
Underlay is used as a supporting layer within the roofing build-up, while a capsheet is a top layer designed to provide the finished waterproofing surface in an appropriate system. The correct layers and application method must follow the roofing specification.
What information should a merchant provide when requesting roofing-felt pricing?
Include the product type, roll format, quantity, delivery postcode and required timing. If you are pricing a complete roof system, include the intended layer configuration so the requirement can be reviewed accurately.
Questions about availability, delivery and trade accounts.
FENCYX confirms live commercial requirements against product, quantity and postcode.
Does FENCYX guarantee delivery times?
FENCYX confirms delivery timing and availability against the product, quantity and delivery postcode. Warehouse capacity supports quotations, but it is not a promise that every product is always available or dispatched at a fixed speed.
Can FENCYX support recurring merchant replenishment?
