Gypsum Boards

Gypsum board, also known as gypsum plaster board is a popular building material which is made up of a flat panel with a plaster core sandwiched between paper sheets. The paper is specifically engineered for making gypsum boards. Gypsum boards are widely used for creating interior walls and ceilings due to its features like ease of installation, fire resistance, and ability to provide a smooth surface for decorating and painting.

Benefits of Gypsum Board

  • Fire resistance
  • Easy Installation
  • Smooth and Aesthetic Finish
  • Thermal Insulation

  • Moisture Resistance
  • Eco-Friendly

Product Description


What are the Different Applications of Gypsum Boards?

  • Gypsum Ceilings
    Gypsum ceilings have become very popular in both residential and commercial construction due to its superior properties and aesthetic appeal. Gypsum ceilings have a smooth clean finish that can be painted or textured to suit any kind of design aesthetic. Thermal insulation, a key feature of Gypsum ceilings, reduces room temperature by restricting heat flow. The sound absorption property of gypsum ceilings is very useful, especially for commercial spaces. They provide cost effective thermal comfort compared to traditional cooling methods.
  • Gypsum Board Partitioning
    Gypsum boards are widely used for partitioning spaces in residential and commercial buildings due to the numerous benefits it offers. Some of the advantages of using gypsum board partitioning are:
    1. Reduced load on structural elements.
    2. Light Weight.
    3. High Durability
    4. Cost Effectiveness
    5. Fire Resistance
    6. Sound Insulation
    7. Smooth finish with paint, wall paper or other treatments.
    8. Environment Friendly
  • Other Applications
    Gypsum boards are used as bulkheads, column encasements and shaft walls and they are also used in specialized applications such as moisturize-resistant claddings in wet areas, impact resistant linings which are used in high traffic places.

Gypsum Board Sizes

Gypsum boards are available in different sizes in the market and each of the sizes cater to different purposes.

Here are the different size specification for a gypsum plasterboard that you are likely to find :

1.905 Creating shaft walls, partitions, corridor ceilings, highest resistance
2.54 Creating shaft walls, partitions, corridor ceilings, highest resistance
  • Regular Gypsum Boards : Regular gypsum boards are the most commonly used gypsum boards and they are also known as drywall. It is composed of gypsum core encased in a thick paper on both sides. Properties like lightweightedness, easy installation and excellent sound insulation properties make them highly popular. These boards are widely used for creating interior walls and ceilings in both residential and commercial buildings.
  • Fire and Moisture Resistant Boards : These boards are specifically engineered to provide enhanced protection against both fire and moisture.Additives contained increase resistance to moisture and fire, making them suitable for areas that require additional safety measures
  • Acoustic Boards : These boards are specially designed to absorb sound, making them the best choice for creating soundproof spaces. It consists of a dense core and additional sound damping layers, which reduce noise transmission and improve the acoustic performance of a room. You can find acoustic boards commonly used in recording studios, conference rooms, theaters and home theaters.
  • Impact Resistant Gypsum Boards : Impact resistant gypsum boards are the type of boards used in high traffic areas prone to damage such as hallways, schools, hospitals and public buildings. They are capable of withstanding physical impact and abuse as they possess features to do so.
  • Gypsum Shaft Boards : The special additives of shaft boards along with a high density gypsum core is resistant against fire and moisture. These types of gypsum boards are best suited for lifts, stairwells, service shafts and other fire resistant applications.
  • Glass Mat Sheathing Boards : Glass mat sheathing boards are prepared by reinforcing fiberglass mats on both sides. These types of gypsum boards offer excellent resistance to moisture, mold and impact.
