Gypsum Block
Gypsum Block is an internal wall solution (made using calcium sulphate as a base material). These blocks combine the benefits of conventional masonry with contemporary drywall construction. It has all the qualities of masonry: solid, void-free and highly stable; but better as it doesn’t require mortar, sand or plaster. This means the walls are to large degree built without water, Just like dry walls, but not similar to conventional dry walls. For distinction this construction with gypsum blocks is often referred to as massive drywall construction.
Specifications
The Gypsum Block non-load bearing internal walls are built using these blocks with a tongue and groove mechanism.

♦ Solid construction, but low mass per
unit area.
♦ Lightweight, but no studwork or cavities.
| QUICK INSTALLATION
♦ Independent installation alongside the
construction of the building shell
and with optional hydro protection.
| SOUND INSULATION
♦ It contains sounds of up to 42 db
(general conversation, radio sounds,
soft music etc.) same as any other
masonry internal wall without any
sound proofing treatment.
| FIRE PROOF
♦ Can achieve 3 and 4 hour fire-resistive
ratings.
♦ Totally non-combustible once
completely built.
| Other Features
♦ Traditionally as single-leaf and double-
leaf partition walls.
♦ Proven to be comparable to walls that
are 220 kg/m² heavier as installation
walls.
♦ Ideal for independent wall linings.
♦ Highly efficient as shaft walls.
♦ As highly efficient cladding for columns
for fire protection.
♦ In Nordic countries it is classified EI
90-M firewall, which is a standard for
reliable, functional and offers a good
soundproofing. It fits perfectly to
protection need against fire for schools,
multipurpose halls, cultural centers.
♦ Also as safe, lead-free radiation
protection blocks in X-ray facilities.
