Gyproc or knauf

Ok - interesting looks like Knauf all the way. But what characteristic's has one from the other that makes Knauf better.

More rigid ---
Would that mean I could even get away with 9mm when over- boarding ( nogings everywhere when over 370mm joists }
I say that because that is what I have done in readyness for 12.5mm I.e I have already added noggings everywhere apart from 3 joist spans that were 370 centeres and am about to order the board but if I can do it in 9mm that would be good

Why would you prefer to use 9.5mm?

Knauf use an additional ingredient in the mix , byproduct of fossil fuel power stations , calcidesomethingwhatever , makes a more rigid board than just gypsum

Thank f**k your only boarding a ceiling,
What would you be like if you was doing the walls as well
 
Yeah, its a for where the client is a pia knowitall who wants a cheap job and its the only way you can make some money and run.
S'pose you might also use it to save weight when overboarding ceiling laths n plaster...
