Where to buy Gyproc Habito reinforced plasterboard?

[RocketScienceSmurf]

I am looking for three sheets of Gyproc Habito but can't find any dealer with them in stock. Has it been discontinued? Are there more or less identical sheets from, for example, Norgips that can be used instead? I need a sturdy screw and impact-resistant sheet for a project and I believe Habito is the only sensible option.

Where in the country do you live? If you go to their website, you can see dealers.

sold by most of the building supply retailers, like Beijer.

but a question, what are you using it for?
Many completely misunderstand the board and its function

Norgips is called ultraboard. Unfortunately, it's not very common to have it in stock, but go to a large retailer where professionals shop and check.

Beijer didn't have it in stock, and they were also closed when I was going to drop by and ask if they could order it for me. Feel free to describe how it is meant to be used and what its strengths and advantages are so I can determine if it's the right fit.

If you write where in the country you are located, it's easier to help you.

Living in the Jönköping area and after a tip, I dropped by Optimera this morning. They had the equivalent board from Knauf in stock, so that'll do. 👍

It's not really screw-fast, but clearly better than regular drywall. Cut as deep as you can with the drywall knife before you snap it.. Don't forget the hårdgipsskruv.

it's not so that you can hang much heavier things than in regular plaster.
absolutely no replacement for either OSB or plywood.

it handles good load in one direction but no torque at all.
so screwing up a painting or similar is no problem but just forget things you have a torque on like handrails, kitchen, hat shelf, hooks, etc.
