British Gypsum at the National Homebuilding & Renovating
Show, stand No. 1310
British Gypsum will be focussing on ‘room-in-the roof’
conversions on stand 1310 at the National Homebuilding &
Renovating Show, to be held at the Birmingham NEC, 2-5th March
2006.
Up to one third of the volume of the average home is tucked away
under the roof, and can be converted to provide additional valuable
living space, without eating away at the garden or outside living
area.
British Gypsum’s market leading lightweight metal frame systems
are used to line, or create, the walls and ceiling of the loft
space, quickly providing the basic shell, and separation, for the
additional rooms, ready for decoration. As well as providing the
internal structure, the systems also provide the necessary level of
fire safety for stair enclosures, and are designed to ensure
compliance with the latest Part E and Part L Building Regulations.
Using British Gypsum systems therefore, your modern extended home
will be quiet and economic to run, as well as being warm and
welcoming for the family.
The GypWall RAPID metal stud housing partition, designed
specifically to meet the latest acoustic standards for housing, is
quick and simple to build, and provides a full 30 minutes fire
resistance in addition to meeting the current 40dB acoustic
standard. Where old, uninteresting masonry walls need a new face,
then the GypLyner wall lining system is the simple answer. Built on
a virtually independent metal frame, there is generally no need for
background preparation and the system’s variable stand-off
accommodates services, if necessary, to leave a clean,
uninterrupted wall surface.
Once the system has been selected, there’s a range of standard
and high performance Gyproc plasterboards to give different
characteristics for different areas. Gyproc Moisture Resistant, for
instance, is designed for high moisture producing areas, such as
kitchens or bathrooms, whilst Gyproc SoundBloc will give extra
sound performance and Gyproc DuraLine is less prone to damage for
stairwells and corridors.
British Gypsum systems are covered by the company’s unique
SpecSure® lifetime system warranty, so, once installed will perform
to your design specification for the life of your building.
