Decorative Plasterboards | Interior design (homes, offices, hotels) | Smooth, customizable surface (textures/colors); Fire resistance: EN 13501 B (Industry) ▲ Base: A2 (2h fire protection) ▲ Advanced: A1 (3h fire protection) | Enhances aesthetics; meets fire safety standards; easy to paint | Lower structural strength; requires additional soundproofing for noisy areas |
Fibrous Plasterboards | High-traffic areas (hospitals, malls) | Reinforced fibrous core: EN 13501 A2 (Base) ▲ Advanced: A1 (▲1h fire protection); Tensile strength: 1500 N/m² (Industry) ▲ Advanced: 2000 N/m² | Superior durability; meets stringent fire safety codes; withstands heavy use | Heavier; costlier than standard boards; harder to cut |
Perforated Plasterboards | Sound-sensitive spaces (studios, theaters) | Perforated design: 30 dB sound absorption (Industry) ▲ Advanced: 35 dB (▲5 dB improvement); Meets ISO 140-3 | Effective noise reduction; modern aesthetic appeal | Less effective in humid environments; requires sealing for full acoustic benefit |
Paperbacked Plasterboards | General construction (standard walls) | Standard paperback surface: EN 13501 B (Industry) ▲ Advanced: A2 (▲1h fire protection); Thickness: 12 mm (Industry) ▲ Advanced: 15 mm (▲3 mm insulation) | Cost-effective; lightweight; easy installation | Lower fire/sound resistance compared to specialized boards |
Fire-Resistant Plasterboards | High-risk zones (hospitals, data centers) | Enhanced fire resistance: EN 13501 A1 (Base) ▲ Advanced: A1+ (4h fire protection); Gypsum core with additives | Exceeds fire safety standards; protects structural integrity | Bulky; higher cost; requires professional installation |
Soundproof Plasterboards | Noise-sensitive areas (hotels, recording studios) | Double-layered design: 40 dB sound absorption (Industry) ▲ Advanced: 45 dB (▲5 dB); Meets ASTM E90 STC 40 ▲ Advanced: STC 45 | Superior noise isolation; ideal for acoustic environments | Bulky; may require structural reinforcement; complex installation |
