When it comes to modern residential builds, the push for better performance is no longer limited to high-end projects.
Tradies, builders and contractors are increasingly looking for materials that can do more without complicating the job.
That’s where Knauf’s SHEETROCK PLUS comes to play — a premium 10mm plasterboard designed to simplify specifications while delivering upgraded performance where it matters most.
Simplify the spec
At its core, SHEETROCK PLUS brings together three key benefits in a single board: water resistance, sound insulation performance and impact durability.
This ‘products that do more’ approach is aimed squarely at reducing the need for multiple plasterboard types across a build, helping streamline both planning and installation.

The simplicity of using just two boards across an entire home — standard SHEETROCK ONE for general areas and SHEETROCK PLUS for upgraded spaces — is a major advantage.
It cuts down SKU complexity and removes the guesswork when moving between rooms with different performance requirements.
Instead of switching between wet-area boards, acoustic boards and impact-resistant options, one product can cover multiple applications with confidence.
Upgrade the rooms that matter
Performance is where SHEETROCK PLUS really earns its place.
Its water-resistant core makes it suitable for moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, laundries and kitchens, ensuring compliance without the need for a separate wet-area board.
At the same time, its high-density construction helps reduce sound transfer, making it a smart inclusion in home offices, media rooms or anywhere noise control is a priority.
In high-traffic zones such as hallways and garages, the added impact resistance helps minimise damage from daily wear and tear, supporting longer-lasting finishes and fewer repairs.
This combination of benefits makes it easier for builders to recommend targeted upgrades in the spaces that see the
most use.
Built for the trade
For contractors, particularly those working to tight timelines, fewer board types mean fewer changeovers and a smoother workflow.
Reducing material variation not only speeds up installation but also lowers the risk of errors and rework on site.
Beyond performance, SHEETROCK PLUS also aligns with growing demand for more sustainable materials.
With Environmental Product Disclosure, Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) certification and manufacturing to Australian standards, it offers an environmentally conscious option without compromising durability or ease of use.
Whether used selectively or across an entire build, it delivers a more efficient way to achieve quieter, stronger and more resilient homes.
