Advantages of Gypsum Board
 
1. Versatility

1.Various element designs of architectural requirements can easily be achieved with gypsum board.
2.Due to primary qualities such as performance, availability, ease of application, ease of repair, and their adaptability in all forms of decoration; gypsum boards are incomparable to any other surfacing products.

 
2. Ease of Installation

1.Installation process of drywall or gypsum wallboard is much faster & easy.
2.They are available in lengths of 8, 10, or 12 feet and in width of 48 inches so best known to cover the large area of either drywall or ceiling compared to other materials.
3.They can be cut with either knife or a saw. During the installation process, only a few tools are required as it can be attached with a variety of fasteners, which includes nails, screws and staples.
4.Gypsum board sheets are lightweight materials so they can also be adhesively attached to many surfaces.
5.Due to light weight and large sizes available only few workers can handle the panels so labour cost gets decreased.

 
3. Fire Resistance

1.They are proven to be outstanding fire-resistive building material.
2.Their non-combustible core restraints chemically combined water around 21%, as a result, when heat is high it releases steam. 3.Consequently, where fire resistance classification is required, it is the most commonly used interior finish.
4.The study shows that steam will not exceed 100 degree Celsius providing under normal atmospheric pressure. This characteristic helps in retarding the transfer of heat and spread of fire.
5.Research conducted by gypsum board manufacturer in accordance with ASTM E 84 shows that it has a low flame-spread index and a low smoke-density index. This means gypsum board adequately protect other structural elements from fire for certain period of times.

 
4. Sound Isolation

1.Installing gypsum board on drywalls & ceilings effectively help in controlling sound transmission.
2.The designer of the building should consider the intended activities of the occupants, for instance, office space adjacent to manufacturing unit needs more noise reduction features than the ordinary buildings. Hence, installing gypsum board system can be a key consideration in preventing the transfer of unwanted sound and noise to adjoining areas.

 
5. Durability

High-quality walls constructed with gypsum boards can be recognised as drywall. They can also be used in ceilings and they provide excellent dimensional stability and durability. Gypsum board can be easily decorated and refinished.

 

 

Properties of Gypsum Board

 

Gypsum Is Fire-Resistant

Gypsum boards are fire resistant and safeguard the structure from fire threats by preventing the fire from spreading further. Due to chemically bound water in the gypsum, it possesses a fire-resistant quality. When gypsum boards are exposed to fire, the water contained within the gypsum evaporates, forming a protective layer.

01

Thermal Properties of Gypsum

Gypsum can regulate variables such as humidity and temperature in the home. The insulating characteristics of gypsum plasterboard or formwork used in buildings are improved.

02

Acoustic Property of Gypsum

Sound isolation is prioritized in the design of gypsum materials. Other methods, such as masonry, would work well, as it is commonly used in a thicker thickness and is no less demanding than gypsum. Gypsum plasterboard is designed to absorb sound and reduce reverberation.. Adding an air space between two solid gypsum walls improves acoustic performance by preventing noise from passing through. For example, instead of a 110mm thick brick wall, we can use 75mm thick drywall to obtain the same sound performance.

03

Non-combustible Property of Gypsum

The heating of gypsum products causes the water crystals in the gypsum material to heat up. Calcinations is the process of dehydrating gypsum with heat. Calcinations creates a protective layer over the components, preventing them from combusting and allowing the materials around them to retain a lower, safer temperature.

Gypsum board sizes
 

¼-inch (0.635 cm)

The ¼-inch gypsum plasterboard is a low-cost structure dedicated for use in ceilings, improving existing walls, curved surfaces, and improving sound control. It mainly finds use in home décor.

 

3/8-inch (0.9525 cm)

The ⅜ -inch gypsum plasterboard finds usage primarily as a face layer for remodelling or repair purposes. These are applied over wood framing and usually in a double-layer format.

 

½-inch (1.27 cm)

The ½-inch variant is used primarily in single-layer wall systems. It is excellent for soundproofing and fire protection and is more likely to be found in residential buildings.

 

5/8-inch (1.5875 cm)

The ⅝ -inch variant is one of the thicker versions. It helps in improving resistance, rigidity, and higher fire resistance. These characteristics make them excellent for single-layer and double-layer walls.

 

¾-inch (1.905 cm) and 1-inch (2.54 cm)

The ¾-inch and the 1-inch variant are used for creating shaft walls, partitions, corridor ceilings, and similar purposes. These are the thickest gypsum plasterboard available and offer the highest resistance.

 

 

Cautions in Use

The prime coat should be painted first on the gypsum board ceilings to ensure the good bonding of the paints without any bubbles.


The waves of the ceiling frames can be easily seen on the ceilings if the dark color of the paints is used especially in the area where the natural lights or the lights can enter, if the installers do not have the ceilings installed according to the required standard of the installation.


Since the gypsum boards will be wrapped with the paper on both sides of the gypsum boards, the problems of the termites can be found as well. The paper of the gypsum boards will be eaten by the termites.
