Gypsum Board Partition & Ceiling System

Gypsum Board Cement Board Drywall System

The main product that we need for drywall, ceilings and wall cladding is the gypsum board. We also use cement board, joint compound, metal profiles and plaster powders. Let’s discover them in today’s article.

Gypsum Board

Production Of Gypsum Board

First, we produce gypsum board from a mineral rock. It is called gypsum. Then, we extract the gypsum from mining sites. There are two ways of exploitation. On the one hand, we use underground mining. This is done when the raw material is deeply buried. On the other hand, there is an open pit mining. This is realized if the first layer of raw material is not deep.

After that, we fragment the gypsum into small pieces. Later on, we back them in ovens and ground them. So we obtain a gypsum powder. 

Furthermore, when we mix gypsum powder with water and other additives, it forms plaster. It is good to know that the plaster is a fully recyclable material. To finish, the plaster paste that we have obtained is poured between two cardboard and then dried.

Exploitation Of Gypsum Board

Similarly, gypsum is a well-exploited natural resource which enables the production of plate powder. Thus, gypsum powder is the main element for the manufacture of plaster-based products. For instance plasterboards, plaster coatings and plaster tiles.

For example, we can use plasterboards to renovate walls and ceilings. Or else, we can build partitions and false ceilings. Likewise, we can arrange spaces thanks to the separation of room. Therefore, uses of gypsum board is multiple and depends on its type and use.

Consequently, there are different types of boards, available in width of 1200 mm, length from 2400 to 3600 mm and thickness of 9.5, 12.5 and 15 mm. 

Moisture Resistant Plasterboards

Types Of Gypsum Board

Regular Gypsum Board

Firstly, the most famous is the regular gypsum board. In fact, it is the most standard and consumed product. We mainly use it for partition walls and suspended ceilings. It is flexible against cracks. However, it does not provide any resistance against humidity or fire. 

Moisture Resistant Gypsum Board

At the opposite, we have the moisture resistant or waterproof plasterboard. Above all, it is reinforced against humidity. It used, for example, in wet places such as bathrooms and toilets. Also, it provides great humidity resistance. Thanks to its fibers and green color paper which covers the boards.

Fire Resistant Gypsum Boards

Fire Resistant Gypsum Board 

On the other hand, you can decide to use the fireproof plasterboard. Above all, it has the particularity of being fire resistant. In fact, we apply it in spaces that require special protection against fire. Such as residences, schools, hospitals, hotels and shopping centers. Also, it is suitable for ceilings and drywall. Mainly where a high level of fire protection is required. That’s why, fibers and the red color paper (which covers the boards) provide fire resistance. 

Ready Mix Joint Compound

As an alternative to gypsum powder. We can suggest you to use one of our joint compounds. Especially for jointing, skimming, finishing or smoothing. Compared to plaster powders, USG joint compounds will give you much better solutions with less effort.

Ready Mixed Joint Compound

USG Ready Mix Joint Compound

First of all, the crackfree joint compound comes in 25kg bucket with green lid. Its an ideal product for jointing and smoothing. Vinyl based product is flexible againts damages and crackes. That’s why, it has all advantages. Such as time saving, easy to handle and apply. 

USG Sheetrock Joint Compound

Then, you can choose for the Sheetrock brand ready mix all purpose joint compound. Above all, it gives excellent bounding, embedding and finishing work. 

Lightweight Plus 3

Finally, we invite you to discover the Lightweight USG Joint compound. It enables fastest drying with highest volume. Available in 17L. The Lightweight Plus3 gives you more surface coverage comparing to any other product. 

Gypsum Powder

The gypsum powder is a part of partition and ceiling systems. Where ever gypsum board is used, there is a demand for plaster powder as well. That is to say, the ready mix joint compound might not be preferred all the time. In that case, gypsum powder can be an alternative product ! Especially for embedding, jointing, finishing and skimming. Although it takes more time comparing to joint compounds. However, it is an economical product which gives you flexibility for decoration works.
