Premium Gypsum Board (Drywall) - The Foundation of Flawless Interiors

Transform your interior spaces with our high-quality Gypsum Board, also widely known as drywall or plasterboard. Engineered for superior performance and ease of installation, our gypsum board provides the essential foundation for beautiful, durable, and safe walls and ceilings in any residential, commercial, or institutional project.

Product Overview

Our Gypsum Board consists of a non-combustible gypsum core encased in durable, 100% recycled paper facers. It's the go-to solution for creating smooth, paint-ready surfaces quickly and efficiently, offering a range of benefits that traditional plastering cannot match.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Smooth, Ready-to-Finish Surface: Provides an ideal base for painting, wallpapering, or other decorative finishes, ensuring a professional and aesthetically pleasing result.
• Exceptional Fire Resistance: The gypsum core naturally contains chemically combined water, which acts as a barrier to fire, providing crucial time for evacuation and reducing property damage. Many of our boards meet or exceed specific fire-rating requirements.
• Sound Attenuation: Contributes to a quieter indoor environment by reducing sound transmission between rooms, enhancing privacy and comfort.
• Quick & Easy Installation: Lightweight, easy to cut, score, snap, and fasten, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs compared to traditional wet systems.
• Cost-Effective Solution: An economical choice for interior wall and ceiling construction, offering long-term value and durability.
• Versatile Design Potential: Adaptable for a wide range of architectural designs, from simple flat walls to complex curved surfaces.
• Durable & Stable: Resists warping, cracking, and sagging under normal conditions, ensuring the longevity of your interior finishes.
• Environmentally Responsible: Manufactured with a commitment to sustainability, often incorporating recycled materials in both the gypsum core and paper facers.

Versatile Applications:

Our Gypsum Board is suitable for a myriad of interior applications, including:

• Residential Homes: Walls, ceilings, partitions in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.
• Commercial Buildings: Offices, retail spaces, restaurants, hotels, and corridors.
• Institutional Facilities: Schools, hospitals, libraries, and government buildings.
• New Construction & Renovation: Ideal for both new builds and upgrading existing structures.
• Shaft Walls & Stairwells: Specific fire-rated types offer enhanced protection in critical areas.

Available Types to Meet Every Need:

We offer a comprehensive range of gypsum board types, each engineered for specific performance requirements:

• Standard Gypsum Board (Regular): The most common type, ideal for general wall and ceiling applications where no special performance characteristics are required.
• Moisture-Resistant Gypsum Board (Green Board): Features a water-resistant core and paper facers, making it suitable for areas with intermittent moisture exposure such as bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms (not recommended for areas of continuous water exposure like shower stalls).
• Fire-Rated Gypsum Board (Type X & Type C): Engineered with a specially formulated gypsum core that provides enhanced fire resistance. Type X is generally 5/8" thick for 1-hour fire ratings, while Type C offers even greater resistance in a thinner panel. Essential for compliance with building codes in specific assemblies.
• Sound-Reducing Gypsum Board: Designed with a denser or viscoelastic core to significantly improve sound isolation between rooms, perfect for home theaters, recording studios, or multi-family dwellings.
• Impact/Abuse-Resistant Gypsum Board: Features a fiberglass mesh embedded in the core or a tougher paper facing for increased resistance to dents, abrasions, and impact in high-traffic areas like schools, hospitals, and corridors.
• Sag-Resistant Ceiling Gypsum Board: Specifically formulated to resist sagging when installed on ceilings, even under high humidity conditions, ensuring a long-lasting, flat finish.
• Foil-Backed Gypsum Board: Features an aluminum foil vapor barrier on one side, effective in controlling moisture migration and improving thermal performance in certain wall constructions.
