Description
fermacell® fibre gypsum boards are transforming modern construction by offering a highly versatile building solution that delivers outstanding performance, design freedom, and environmental responsibility. They combine the robustness of traditional solid blockwork with the speed and adaptability of drylining systems.
Manufactured in a range of thicknesses, fermacell® boards are suitable for numerous applications, from wall linings to flooring systems. Their dry construction approach reduces reliance on wet trades, helping to streamline installation and shorten build programmes.
fermacell® wall boards are produced using natural gypsum, cellulose fibres sourced from recycled paper, and recycled water. These components are blended into a uniform mixture and compressed to create a dense, durable sheet material that delivers exceptional strength, acoustic performance, and fire resistance—exceeding the requirements of Building Regulations Part E when installed as part of a complete floor and ceiling system.
Key Features
Exceptional Design Flexibility
Dry construction methods allow for creative interior layouts, with partitions that can be easily altered without significant structural disruption.
Enhanced Performance
Providing superior acoustic, fire, and impact resistance compared to standard plasterboard, fermacell® boards also support heavy loads without the need for additional reinforcement.
Versatile Use
Suitable for walls, ceilings, fire protection, and sound insulation, these boards remove the need for multiple specialist products on site.
High Strength and Durability
Engineered for density and stability, fermacell® boards perform exceptionally in both steel and timber frame constructions, supporting loads of up to 150kg per linear metre—surpassing both plasterboard and traditional masonry.
Fast and Efficient Installation
Thinner partition systems meet sound insulation and fire safety requirements, allowing single-layer installations and early fixing, even before the building is fully weather-sealed.
