Fermacell Gypsum Fibre Board - 15mm - 2400mm x 1200mm

The 15mm thickness significantly enhances load capacity and fire performance compared to thinner boards, making it suitable for more demanding applications.

Yes, the board's density and strength allow for the direct fixing of many heavy items like cabinets and shelves, often without the need for specialized fixings. Always check the weight and use appropriate screws.

While the board has moisture resistance, it is not a waterproof solution. For wet areas like shower enclosures, a dedicated waterproofing system must be applied over the board.

Fermacell Gypsum Fibre Board offers superior impact resistance, acoustic insulation, and fire performance due to its denser, homogenous composition.

A sharp, fine-toothed hand saw, a jigsaw with an appropriate blade, or a circular saw with dust extraction is recommended. A scoring knife can also be used for straight cuts.

Yes, after joints are taped and filled, the surface can be painted, wallpapered, or tiled like standard drywall.

Yes, it is manufactured from recycled gypsum and cellulose fibres, making it a sustainable building material.

Use a sharp, fine-toothed hand saw or a power saw with a dust extraction system. Ensure the blade is suitable for cutting dense materials. Score and snap can also be effective for straight cuts.

Ensure you are using drywall screws specifically designed for fibre gypsum boards. Check that the framing material is adequate. For heavier loads, verify that the screw type and length are appropriate for the intended application.

Ensure boards are fixed flat against the framing. Check for any raised screw heads or poorly filled joints. Sand down any imperfections and reapply jointing compound or finish as needed.

Always use appropriate dust masks (e.g., FFP2 or higher) and eye protection. Employ a dust extraction system connected to your cutting tools. Work in a well-ventilated area.
