Most recently, a new modern high-tech material has appeared on the construction market, designed for interior finishing work - gypsum board. It is made from environmentally friendly components. Thanks to the introduction of new technologies into production, this versatile and high-quality material surpasses the characteristics of other types of tiled panels for interior decoration in its performance. It is extremely in demand in the construction industry and is popular in Europe. The manufacturer of gypsum boards in Russia is the Peshelan gypsum plant.
Production of gypsum boards
For the production of gypsum boards, high-quality equipment and the latest technologies are used. It consists of components such as water - 2%, wood chips - 15% and gypsum - 83%. All this molding material is placed on steel sheets and pressed in a semi-dry method.
Dry such plates at a low temperature, providing the same moisture content of the product and air. The use of this technology gives the finished productresistance to deformation. A light, smooth, even and compacted surface is an indicator of a quality material. A gypsum board is produced with the following dimensions: 3000x1250x10 mm, 3000x1250x12 mm, 2500x1250x10 mm, 2500x1250x12 mm, 1500x1250x10 mm, 1500x1250x12 mm, 500x1250x10 mm, 500x125 mm
Specifications
Versatility, fire safety, environmental friendliness are the undeniable properties that gypsum board has. Its characteristics are far superior to drywall. It is more durable and practical, has good sound insulation, low degree of thermal conductivity. The plates are not affected by bacteria that provoke rotting, delamination, mold formation and other biological processes, do not contain adhesives and resins, therefore they do not emit toxins and have a high environmental friendliness class.
Gypsum board, the price of which, depending on the size, can vary from 93 to 670 rubles, serves as a unique material for the implementation of architectural and design solutions. It has high bending strength, wear resistance, it can be used for cladding walls, erecting blank interior partitions, and decorating ceilings. Thanks to its dense, light and even outer surface, it provides ease of use and the possibility of using different finishing techniques. Plates can be easily pasted over with wallpaper and film, painted, and also tiled with ceramic tiles. They are the best analogue of drywall and glass-magnesium sheets.
The main advantages of the material
The product has many advantages that make it stand out from other similar materials.
- Strength. Gypsum board does not crumble. It is reinforced throughout with wood fibers. It has high strength characteristics, resistance to mechanical damage, elasticity, which makes the material practical for installation and operation.
- Sustainability. Adhesives and resins are not used in the material production technology. Therefore, it does not emit harmful substances and does not harm human he alth.
- Moisture resistance. Gypsum chipboard can be used in rooms with high humidity (bathrooms, bathrooms). The gypsum included in the composition has a natural ability to absorb moisture, and if there is a lack of it, give it away.
- Fire resistance and fire safety. The material is difficult to ignite, belongs to the flammability class G1. Wood fibers are pressed with gypsum, which protects them from fire. When in contact with an open fire, part of the heat goes to its dehydration, this prevents the stoves from igniting for a long time.
- Heat and sound insulation. Thanks to the wood that the gypsum board contains, its characteristics make it possible to maintain temperature conditions and increased sound insulation.
- Easy to finish. The ease of decorating the interior with a stove is ensured by its smooth and even surface. Any kind of paint, wallpaper, film, veneer, ceramic tile or stone is used for finishing. It can be laminated orcache.
- Biostability. The material is resistant to rodents, insects and fungi.
- Ease of handling. GSP can be processed with the same tools as wood. They lend themselves well to drilling, cutting, milling and grinding.
Flaws
In addition to the advantages, gypsum board has several disadvantages:
- can only be used for interior decoration;
- heavy weight.
Scope of application
Gypsum board, consumer reviews of the universal characteristics of which are only positive, is used in construction:
- educational and medical institutions;
- shopping and business centers;
- hotels;
- sports and entertainment complexes;
- residential buildings;
- industrial buildings.
The plate is used for internal wall cladding, ceiling and floor installation, installation of partitions, window sills and window slopes. It is also used in frame housing construction, for fire-retardant cladding of building parts made of wood and steel.
