Quite recently, a new modern high-tech material designed for interior finishing works - a gypsum chipboard - has appeared on the construction market. It is made from environmentally friendly components. Thanks to the introduction of new technologies into production, this universal and high-quality material in its performance exceeds the characteristics of other types of tile panels for interior decoration. It is extremely popular in the construction industry and is popular in Europe. The manufacturer of gypsum boards in Russia is the Peshelansky gypsum plant.
Plasterboard production
For the production of gypsum boards, high-quality equipment and the latest technologies are used. Its composition includes such components as water - 2%, wood shavings - 15% and gypsum - 83%. All this molding material is placed on steel sheets and pressed by a semi-dry method.
Such plates are dried at a low temperature, providing the same moisture content of the product and air. The use of this technology gives the finished product resistance to deformation. A light, smooth, even and compacted surface is an indicator of quality material. A gypsum chipboard is produced with the following dimensions: 3000x1250x10 mm, 3000x1250x12 mm, 2500x1250x10 mm, 2500x1250x12 mm, 1500x1250x10 mm, 1500x1250x12 mm, 500x1250x10 mm, 500x1250x12 mm.
Specifications
Universality, fire safety, environmental friendliness are indisputable properties which the gypsum chip has. Its characteristics are far superior to drywall. It is more durable and practical, has good sound insulation, low degree of thermal conductivity. Plates are not exposed to bacteria, which provoke rotting, delamination, mold and other biological processes, do not contain adhesives and resins, therefore they do not emit toxins and have a high environmental class.
Gypsum particle board, the price of which, depending on the size, can vary from 93 to 670 rubles, serves as a unique material for the embodiment of architectural and design solutions. It has high bending strength, resistance to wear, it can be lined with walls, erect deaf interior partitions, and decorate ceilings. Due to the dense, light and even outer surface, it provides ease of use and the possibility of using different finishing techniques. Plates are easily pasted with wallpaper and film, painted, and also faced with ceramic tiles. They are the best analogue of drywall and glass-magnesium sheets.
The main advantages of the material
The product has many advantages that distinguish it from other similar materials.
- Strength. The gypsum chip does not crumble. It is reinforced throughout the volume with wood fibers. It has high strength characteristics, resistance to mechanical damage, elasticity, which gives the material practicality during installation and operation.
- Environmental friendliness. In the production technology of the material glues and resins are not used. Therefore, it does not emit harmful substances and does not harm human health.
- Moisture resistance. Gypsum particle board can be used in rooms with high humidity (bathrooms, bathrooms). The gypsum included in the composition has a natural ability to absorb moisture, and if it is deficient, give it away.
- Fire resistance and fire safety. The material is difficult to ignite, it belongs to the flammability class G1. Wood fibers are pressed with gypsum, which protects them from fire. Upon contact with an open fire, part of the heat goes to its dehydration, this does not allow the stoves to ignite for a long time.
- Heat and sound insulation. Thanks to the wood, which contains gypsum particle board, its characteristics allow you to maintain temperature and increased sound insulation.
- Easy to finish. The ease of interior design with a stove ensures its smooth and even surface. For decoration, any kind of paint, wallpaper, film, veneer, ceramic tile or stone is used. It can be laminated or cached.
- Biostability. The material is not exposed to rodents, insects and fungi.
- Convenience in processing. SHGs can be machined with the same tools as wood. They lend themselves well to drilling, cutting, milling and grinding.
disadvantages
In addition to the advantages, the gypsum chip has several disadvantages:
- the possibility of use only for interior decoration;
- a lot of weight.
Scope of application
Gypsum particle board, consumer reviews of the universal characteristics of which are only positive, is used in construction:
- educational and medical institutions;
- shopping and business centers;
- Hotels
- sports and entertainment complexes;
- residential buildings;
- industrial buildings.
A plate is used for internal wall cladding, the installation of ceilings and floors, the installation of partitions, window sills and window slopes. It is also used in frame house-building, for fire-retardant cladding of building parts made of wood and steel.
