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.
The new GypWall EXTREME/ ROBUST hybrid is based on the same partition system that has already won recognition in the recent CPA and Interbuild 07 awards.
It comprises a Gypframe metal stud core faced to one side with the company's latest super impact resistant Glasroc Rigidur H high density fibre board, and to the reverse with 15mm Gyproc DuraLine board.
The new hybrid is an even more cost effective alternative to standard blockwork or existing fibreboard-based systems that enables additional performance, and therefore cost, to be applied only where it is needed.
It meets all of the BB93 and new DSCF acoustic requirements, whilst providing single-side tested performance to resist damage caused by a range of common accidental and deliberate impacts from kicking, to glancing blows from trolleys and scratch damage through continued rubbing of furniture etc.
The Gyproc DuraLine face also meets BS 5234 Severe Duty in a single layer, for normal day to day traffic requirements.
