Plaster fiber boards

The gypsum fiber is made of gypsum reinforced with cellulose fiber (recycled and treated paper) which strengthens the structure of the entire slab.

The plaster fiber panels, in fact, are much heavier than the plasterboard slabs of equal thickness, therefore they have more mass. This is the fundamental reason for the highest performance in thermal and acoustic insulation.

That's why it turns out to be one of the preferred materials of green building.

Main features:

1. Thermal insulation: the high mass of the slabs guarantees greater thermal insulation.

2. Sound insulation: see above.

3. Resistance to hanging loads: the density of the slab allows fixing (using a specific plug) of hanging loads up to 15kg.

4. Resistance to steam: the composition of gypsum fiber is optimally crossed by steam. Thanks to this feature, the slab can be applied in humid environments, avoiding the formation of mold and spores and above all it is able to automatically balance the humidity level of the air.

5. Fire resistance: in case of fire, the gypsum fiber burns slowly without generating harmful fumes.

Another important characteristic, belonging only to some specific compositions of gessofibrate slabs, is the possibility of absorbing domestic harmful substances such as formaldehyde and volatile organic composites (VOC).

Processing method:

The installation system is equal to that of plasterboard.

Obviously the mechanical resistance of the gypsum fiber board forces the operator to a greater effort when cutting the slab itself.

Moreover, another fundamental step is in the grouting. The plaster fiber panels must be left slightly detached from each other, so that the joints can be sealed with a particular filler reinforced with cellulose fibers, so that at the end of the work it is possible to obtain a single well-welded surface.
