In this post, I am going to give you accurate gypsum board ceiling prices in South Africa and also give you some interesting facts about Gypsum boards that might probably help you in your decisions.
Without wasting much time, let’s get into the details.
What Is A Gypsum Board?
The term “gypsum board” refers to a range of panel products. These materials are also utilised for walls and ceilings. A gypsum core is used in these panels, which have paper surfacing on the front, back, and edges.
A gypsum core can be found in all gypsum boards used in construction. The gypsum core is inert and will not burn. The many types of gypsum boards are determined by the outside finish. Fibreglass and paper are two more materials that can be used to cover the gypsum core.
Gypsum board is distinguished from other panel types such as plywood, fibreboards, and hardboard by its non-combustible core and paper facers.
Benefits of gypsum false ceiling
There are several benefits of choosing a gypsum false ceiling:
- Gypsum board false ceilings come in a ready-to-install form. Also, they are fixed with screws to a metal frame that is attached to the ceiling slab. Screws can fix the gypsum board to the ceiling.
- A gypsum ceiling has a fast and mess-free method of installation that lessens the dirt during the process of installation.
- A gypsum board false ceiling has a continuous, smooth surface. Since these boards are large in size, the number of joints is less. The joints are also covered with a compound that dries quickly.
- Gypsum boards are easy to design, mould, and paint because of their smooth, finished surface.
- They are manufactured in a factory. As a result, the quality of the gypsum board is consistently good.
