British Gypsum say 'Think sound - think blue'
Think sound-think blue', is the latest message from British Gypsum following a move to standardise the face colour of all products in the company's Gyproc SoundBloc acoustic board range.
As a result, individual system information has been produced in more compact form, with a clear focus on key performance data and detailing.
In anticipation of the new European fire performance standards, all system performance data is now, for the first time, quoted to both BS and EN standards, giving specifiers total flexibility when working to either standard.
To meet users request for more information on system components, the products section has been considerably expanded with more comprehensive data on key products, such as plasterboards.
There is a new glossary, an expanded index and a new literature section detailing the range of sector brochures, product and technical guides and other literature available to support the White Book.
Users of the on-line White Book will have the advantage of guaranteed up-to-date information, as sections will be updated on a day-to-day basis as system information and guidance changes.
Regular users of the White Book are also being given the opportunity to shape the future development of the White Book, by feeding back their comments and suggestions to a special email address 'whitebook@bpb.com'.
