Fibre Gypsum
Fibre gypsum is a core material that gives both interior Panels and Ribs many outstanding qualities, leaving no restrictions to use them everywhere for walls and ceilings, also in the most demanding types of rooms. Fibre Gypsum solutions are extremely well suited for use in escape routes, sky-scrapers, schools, meeting rooms, concert halls, hotels, airport terminals, restaurants and all other types of public meeting places.
A dead core with many benefits
Fiber Gypsum is non-sensitive to indoor climate changes and allow you as a designer to work with the combination of large formatted panels and zero spaced joints in between the panels. This combination gives an exclusive and beautiful end-result, lasting over its full life time, without bulging or warping. Fiber Gypsum Ribs will be 100% straight and stay 100% straight.
The fire retardant properties of Panel and Rib systems based on a non-combustible Fiber Gypsum are not reliant on chemical treatments. Instead it is the mechanical composition of the components which create the end result. Compared to other solutions using impregnated core materials or thick protecting top-coatings, Fiber Gypsum solutions are protected truly homogeneously and will always remain 100% fire safe even when perforated with thousands of acoustic holes per square meter or when cut on site. The result is undoubted fire classifications up to A2-s1,d0 class, including the surface material, surface finish and installation system.
Fiber Gypsum cores are extremely low-emitting. One of the reasons is that they are produced without glues and due to that also automatically without added urea-formaldehyde. Interior Panels and Ribs, containing 97% Fiber Gypsum, will per definition have very low TVOC and formaldehyde emissions. The total surface area of a product will have impact on the level of emissions. Because Fiber Gypsum is almost non-emitting, surface area increasing post treatments, like acoustic perforations or slicing the material into Linear Ribs, will not affect the emission classification.
| Material Property | High Density Fibre Gypsum | Score |
| Dimension Stability | Fibre Gypsum is extremely dimension stable and large panels up to 3000×1200 mm can be installed with a 0 mm spacing (100% closed joints). | 5/5 |
| Resistance to impact | Fibre Gypsum has a good resistance to impact and is suitable for high traffic areas, sports halls, schools, hospitals, restaurants and similar. | 5/5 |
| Flattness | Fibre Gypsum is not sensitive to changes in the room’s temperature or humidity and stays flatt over time. Large panel formats can be used. | 5/5 |
| Fire Safety of the core | Fibre Gypsum contains 83% or more non-combustible minerals and is classified A1-s1,d0 or A2-s1,d0. No impregnating chemicals or fire retardant lacquers need to be used | 5/5 |
| Fire Safety of the whole panel, including the veneer, lacquer and perforations | Fibre Gypsum is all the way through non-combustible. Perforations do not effect the fire properties and the whole panel keeps fire class A2-s1,d0, including the veneer and lacquer. | 5/5 |
| Acoustics | With 15 kg/m², Fibre Gypsum based panels will not vibrate/resonate due to sound waves. Sound will be properly reflected towards to back concert halls or auditoriums. | 5/5 |
| Recycled material | Fibre Gypsum contains 94% recycled material and 17% of these are post consumer. | 5/5 |
| Thermal mass | With a high density of 1150-1250 kg/m³ Fibre Gypsum stores both heath and cold. This property helps to keep rooms at an even temperature which reduces energy consumption. | 5/5 |
| Emissions | Fibre Gypsum does not contribute to formaldehyde emissions at all and post treatments like acoustic perforations does not influence the level of emissions | 5/5 |
| No added Urea Formaldehyde | Fibre Gypsum does not contain any glue and will never contain added urea formaldehyde. | 5/5 |
| Colors | Fibre Gypsums are availabe in Light Grey and Dark Grey. A Dark Grey Core is recommended in combination with dark veneers, dark paints and dark laminates. | 3/5 |
