specifications from simple plasterboard ceilings through to a range
of gypsum-based, decorative suspended ceilings and lay-in grid
systems.

level of fire protection to structural steelwork. They present high
quality claddings with or without supplementary framing.

and concealed spaces in the structure or fabric of a building are
sub-divided or sealed by means of cavity barriers or fire-stopping
to restrict the hidden spread of smoke and flame.

products for two / three coat hand application and one-coat hand or
