Impregnated plasterboard with increased resistance to humidity
Impregnated plasterboard with increased resistance to humidity.
This plasterboard features tapered, cardboard-laminated longitudinal edges and square transverse edges. A hydrophobic agent (paraffin or silicone) is added to the gypsum core of the plasterboard and fiberglass (applies to plasterboards 1200 mm wide).
Colour – green-coloured cardboard with designations in blue.
Plasterboard for indoor construction purposes. Its intended use includes rooms with elevated humidity levels such as bathrooms or kitchens. The relative humidity in such rooms may exceed 70%, but not for longer than 10 hours a day and it must not exceed 85%.
The maximum application temperature is 50°C. The plasterboard is intended for sheathing of partition and curtain walls, lining of walls, panelling of suspended ceilings and lining of attics.
Note - if ceramic tiles are to be glued to the surface of partition walls and wall cladding, a two-layer cladding should be used. On the surface of the boards to which the ceramic tiles are to be glued, liquid foil insulation should be used.
Impregnated. Due to waterproofing, the plasterboard features reduced water absorption properties.
Lightweight. Easy and simple plasterboard transportation at mounting work.
Edge S. Tapered longitudinal edges make finishing of the panel joints easier. Due to an appropriate moulding and the use of joint compounds belonging to the Norgips system as well as joint tapes for joint finishing, a joint with a maximum strength can be obtained.
