Below you’ll find all of the information needed to complete wall lining, partition, floor and ceiling systems, no matter the size and complexity of the project specification.
What is the vapour resistance of Gyproc WallBoard Duplex plasterboard?
Gyproc WallBoard Duplex and Gyproc FireLine Duplex have a water vapour resistance factor (μ) 1400 EN 14190: 2014. Condensation is common where cold meets warm in areas like roof spaces and external walls. The board's vapour control backing stops condensation entering in these areas, preventing it from affecting the structure of the building.
Staggering boards is critical for fire and acoustic performance, as joints are a weak point within a system. Typically, standard sized boards are staggered by 600mm horizontally and 600mm vertically.
What is the sound insulation performance of Gyproc plasterboard?
Gyproc plasterboard does not have stand alone sound insulation performance. However, data can be found in the White Book Specification Selector for its performance as part of a system.
Yes, it is possible to tile directly to our Gyproc moisture resistant (MR) grade boards without any pre-treatment, following the tile adhesive manufacturers guidance.
