British Gypsum puts Off-site on show at Inte
18.07.07
Stand M120, Hall 5
After more than ten years away, British Gypsum is returning to Interbuild in 2007 with a stand dedicated to the company’s off-site solutions.
A growing element of the new build housing market, off-site manufacture offers a solution to the quality issues sometimes associated with site-built methods, but introduces new challenges for manufacturers whose panellised systems not only have to compete cost-wise with ‘traditionally built’ panels, but must be extra robust to cope with the stresses and strains of factory to site transportation.
In conjunction with off-site manufacturers, British Gypsum has therefore developed new Glasroc Rigidur H BIG BOARDS, full panel size lining boards which remove the need for joints in normal sized wall panels and provide improved racking resistance – key for improved panel handling.
Board sizes of up to 2500mm X 6000mm can be supplied cut to manufacturer’s panel requirements, reducing on-line preparation, and any cut-outs returned to British Gypsum for recycling into the manufacturing process.
The rigid, high impact resistant gypsum fibreboards are manufactured using a unique process that gives a very high quality smooth finish, which removes the need for pre-decoration treatment and cuts out a whole costly and time-consuming stage of the production process for the off-site manufacturer.
Visitors to the British Gypsum Stand M120 in Hall 5, will have the opportunity to see new Glasroc Rigidur H BIG BOARDS, which are being exhibited for the first time, as well as the new Glasroc Rigidur-faced extreme impact partition, GypWall EXTREME, and discuss the complete product development and support package that the company now offers to both the on-site and off-site sectors.
BBA certification for Glasroc products
23.07.07
British Gypsum’s award winning Glasroc paperless gypsum boards have received new certification from the British Board of Agrement (BBA), the UK’s leading independent approval body for construction products.
Glasroc FireCase s, the market leading steel encasement board and Glasroc MultiBoard, a high performance multi-purpose lining board, are manufactured by a unique patented process that provides an ultra-smooth plaster-like surface, unlike traditional plasterboards which have a paper lining to both faces.
In the absence of appropriate British Standards, BBA certificates provide architects and other construction industry professionals with the assurance of an independent assessment of the fire, acoustic and structural performance of the products, based on actual test evidence.
The new certificates for Glasroc FireCase s and Glasroc MultiBoard also include up-to-date information on the physical properties, weights, densities and dimensions of the products, and the latest Building Regulation Approved Documents, as well as new fire resistance testing information and Hp/A tables, as appropriate.
Glasroc boards were developed by British Gypsum almost 20 years ago and are today used for a wide range of applications from fire protection to structural steel beams and columns, to high performance firewalls and fire, moisture and impact resistant wall and ceiling linings. Glasroc MultiBoard, due to its exceptional flexibility, is also widely used for lining modern curved wall and ceiling structures.
Now in their 3rd and 4th editions respectively, the fully revised certificates are available to download from the BBA website www.bbacerts.co.uk. Further information and dimensions for Glasroc products are available from www.british-gypsum.com.
