A relatively new material in the Russian construction market are gypsum sheets. They are widely used in the arrangement of interior partitions, floors and ceilings. GVL sheets are included in the group of hardly combustible materials.
What are the advantages of the material?
- High bearing capacity.
- A screw twisted into a GVL sheet can withstand a load of up to thirty kilograms.
- Optimum moisture capacity.
- Great durability.
- Compliance for processing under individual requests.
You can purchase sheets of different sizes - 2500 x 1200 x 10 mm, 2500 x 1200 x 12.5 mm, 1200 x 1200 x 10 mm, 1200 x 600 x 20 mm and 1500 x 500 x 20 mm. in the Center for construction equipment, the price of the GVL sheet is relatively low, which makes it possible to widely use this material in budget construction. Moreover, it has optimal characteristics to ensure environmental cleanliness and a favorable indoor climate.
The main component of the gypsum fiber sheets is gypsum (80-85% of the total volume), and loose pulp waste paper (15-20%) is added to it. The latter provides the viscosity and elasticity of the composition. The density of the material is similar to expanded clay concrete. The higher the density, the smaller the sheet thickness. The sound absorption of the HLV is at 40 decibels. When in water for 24 hours, the material will swell by 1.5%.
Classification
GVL sheets can be unpolished and polished, with edges and chamfers, with edges without chamfers. Chamfers ensure the creation of an inconspicuous and durable seam in the process of filling joints. GVL without chamfers are also widely used. They are indispensable for the installation of the inner layers of the partition or wall cladding.
Where is the GVL sheet applied?
Both moisture resistant and standard gypsum sheets can be used in public buildings, residential and industrial premises, and administrative complexes.
Application Options:
- Surface finishing in bathrooms and toilets, kitchens, utility rooms and dressing rooms. If necessary, additional protection against moisture, the material is treated with a hydrophobic composition. For decorative purposes, you can use, including ceramic tiles.
- Sheathing of attic, attic and basement. An important condition is the arrangement of the ventilation system.
- Dry type screed device. Thanks to the laying of GVL sheets, you can avoid the time-consuming procedure of creating a classic “wet” screed.
- Covering ceilings, walls of garages and outbuildings. GVL sheets are capable of performing their function even in unheated rooms where there is a risk of freezing.
- Sheathing of panel board, boiler rooms, elevator shafts. When ignited, gypsum-fiber sheets can inhibit the spread of fire.
- Primary construction and repair of children's playrooms, gyms, courts. HVL, as a particularly durable material, does not deform under the influence of a large point load (for example, when a ball, toy, etc.) is hit.
In order not to overpay for excess building material, you can choose the best option in the online store, for example, at www.stroymat.msk.ru. GVL sheet price depends on its size. The lack of unnecessary characteristics will also help to save. So, you can choose sheets with high moisture resistance or standard.
Both installation and operation of GVL sheets are not particularly difficult. Due to its high flexibility, density and low level of chalking, the amount of waste is minimized. The material can be attached to both wooden and metal frames. For cutting it does not need special tools. GVL are made in accordance with GOST, which guarantees their high quality.
