A dry-lining building board designed for internal finishing of walls, ceilings and floors, particularly where fire protection, sound insulation and moisture resistance are required. Wall Build Heights of up to 20 m are achievable; refer to fermacell® technical department for further details.

Features and benefits:

fermacell® gypsum-fibreboard is a blend of recycled gypsum and recycled paper fibres.
The two raw materials are mixed with water to form a homogeneous quilt, which is then compressed under high pressure, giving a strong dense board with multiple features and benefits.
The resulting board is impact resistant and the simplest independent wall lining (IWL) detail with 12.5mm fermacell® giving a Severe Duty rating to BS 5234:pt2.
The material has excellent screw-holding capability, with a board strength that allows dead loads of up to 50 kg to be fixed directly to the board without the need for additional pattressing or support bearers.
Boards have a light textured surface and are pre-primed to receive paint decoration or other surface finishes.
Where a painted finish is required, the boards should be finished with fermacell® Fine Surface Treatment (FST), which dries in 45 minutes ready to accept final finishing.
Our products hold BBA, ETA and other third party accreditation, and details are available from James Hardie Building Products Ltd.
Rainscreen Backer Board - 12.5 mm fermacell® is also suitable as a Rainscreen Backer board in External Wall constructions.
