Plasterboard, also known as drywall or gypsum board, is a
construction material used for creating interior walls and
ceilings. It is made of gypsum plaster that is pressed between two
thick sheets of paper or fiberglass matting.
The standard size of gypsum board is usually 4 feet wide by 8 feet
long and ranges from 1/4 inch to 5/8 inch thick. However, larger
sizes are also available for commercial applications.
The gypsum core gives plasterboard its strength, durability, and
fire resistance. The paper or fiberglass matting provides a smooth
surface that can be painted or wallpapered.
1. Fire resistance
Since gypsum itself is a fire resistant material, gypsum
plasterboard can also be fire resistant for up to four hours. The
reason behind this is the presence of water in gypsum offerings.
When water comes in contact with fire, it starts evaporating. It
helps the board to form a protective layer which helps to prevent
the fire from spreading over a period of time.
2. Non-combustible
When a gypsum board comes in contact with fire, it starts the
process called calcination. Calcination is the process by which the
board dehydrates, helping it to form an additional layer. It makes
the wall non-combustible for several hours and always remains at
room temperature.
3.Damp Proof / Waterproof Gypsum Board
The green appearance is mainly made of building gypsum with an appropriate amount of fiber reinforcing agent and waterproof additives.
Suitable for wet and semi exposed areas, with a tileable surface.
Scope of application: kitchen, bathroom, laundry, garage, bathroom, laundry, humid environment, etc.
4. Acoustic properties
Gypsum board has an inherent degree of acoustic insulation. These
are more effective compared to conventional walls of the same
thickness. This is because they contain sound interruptions and
reduce reverberation.
For example, a plasterboard of around 60 mm is as effective as an 85 mm masonry wall in terms of sound insulation. Users can also choose to use acoustic gypsum board to further improve performance.
5. Thermal performance
Gypsum boards contain water of crystallization. They also contain
cavities that allow the user to achieve the right balance between
humidity and temperature. If you add fiberglass, it will further
prevent fire as the fiberglass helps maintain the integrity of the
board. The additional insulation acts as a vapor barrier and helps
control humidity in the room.
