Gyproc SoundBloc moisture resistant applications

British Gypsum has launched a moisture resistant version of its popular Gyproc SoundBloc board for lining bathrooms and kitchens in apartments.

British Gypsum has launched a moisture resistant version of its popular Gyproc SoundBloc board for lining bathrooms and kitchens in apartments and other multi-occupancy buildings required to meet Part E acoustic regulations.

Gyproc SoundBloc MR provides the same high level of sound insulation as standard Gyproc SoundBloc, but includes water repellent additives in the core and paper liners, making it ideal for lining behind areas to be tiled.

It is therefore perfect for bathrooms and kitchens adjacent to any habitable room, where there is a requirement to meet Part E Regulations.

Part of the British Gypsum 'performance boards' range, Gyproc SoundBloc was specially developed with a higher density core to provide improved acoustic performance for commercial applications.

With the growth in multi-storey and multi-occupancy dwellings and the introduction of tough new Part E acoustic standards, however, it is now one of the most popular lining boards for residential applications.

The range of SoundBloc boards, which includes Gyproc SoundBloc RAPID, a special 900mm wide version for use in the British Gypsum GypWall RAPID residential metal frame walling system, all feature a distinctive blue coloured paper liner for ease of identification on site.

The new Gyproc SoundBloc MR comes in 1200mm width, in thicknesses of 12.5 and 15mm, with tapered edges for taping and jointing or skim plaster application.

It is available from all leading builders' merchants and distributors.
