About ProBoard: Party Wall

ProBoard: Build safer, faster and cheaper with Australia’s #1 Fire rated board.

ProBoard Fireless Party Wall System is an innovative, lightweight, ultra-thin wall system designed to deliver a Fire Resistance Level (FRL) of 60/60/60. Made from high-performance magnesium cement reinforced with glass fibre mesh, these 18mm panels provide exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to mould and water, making them a reliable alternative to plasterboard or Hebel panels.

Unlike conventional plaster, ProBoard’s Fireless Party Wall panels can be safely left exposed to the elements without risk of mould, water damage, or delamination. Suitable for both timber and steel frame construction, this system is CodeMark compliant, offering builders a cost-effective, efficient, and fully compliant solution for internal wall construction.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can ProBoard panels be installed in wet conditions or left exposed to the elements?

Yes – and this is one of ProBoard’s standout advantages over conventional plasterboard. ProBoard panels are fully water resistant and can be safely left exposed to the elements without risk of mould, water damage or delamination.

This means installation can continue year-round regardless of weather conditions, reducing costly project delays and the risk of rectification works down the track.

What fire and acoustic ratings does the ProBoard system achieve?

ProBoard has been tested to AS 1530.4 and achieves Fire Resistance Levels of 60/60/60 and 90/90/90, making it suitable for party wall applications where fire performance is a critical requirement.

In addition to its fire credentials, the system delivers strong acoustic performance, achieving an Rw+Ctr50 acoustic rating within the Fireless Party Wall configuration – providing builders with a single system that addresses both fire and sound requirements.

Is ProBoard suitable for both timber and steel frame construction?

Yes. The ProBoard Fireless Party Wall System is compatible with both timber and steel frame construction, giving builders flexibility across a wide range of residential and commercial project types. Installation uses standard carpentry tools with no specialist trades or equipment required, making it a fast and cost-effective solution that fits seamlessly into existing construction workflows.

What makes ProBoard an environmentally friendly choice?

ProBoard panels are manufactured from responsibly sourced magnesium, giving them a lower carbon footprint than many conventional wall systems. The production process uses a green curing method – cured at room temperature rather than in high-temperature kilns – which actively captures CO2 during manufacturing.

Combined with the product’s durability, mould resistance and long service life, ProBoard is a sustainable choice for builders focused on reducing environmental impact without compromising on performance or compliance.
