Hi, I have a floor to ceiling wooden cupboard made from pine cladding, I need to make it 30min fire protected.

What is the best way of doing this please ?
I dont want to have to skim it after.
Im thinking is supalux suitable ?

or has anyone got any better ideas please ?
 
Plasterboard the inside of it rather than the outside? Assuming the actual CU and supply isn’t mounted on the cupboard
 
Thanks, I was planning on lining the inside of the cupboard, but I dont think just one layer of plasterboard would be enough.
 
As above.

Then double up the boards.
Why are you doing this presumably in a residential house or flat?
 
OP,
dont sweat it - if you feel better with two layers of p/b then just bang them up.
 
I remember from a biuld I had done that steel lintels needed either TWO layers of normal plasterboard or ONE layer of fire plasterboard - its red/pink.
