We are also the sole distributor and marketer of EMPIRE GYPSUM CEILING . Our gypsum ceiling delivers smooth surfaces, It is environmental friendly, It is fire resistant in nature, It has high thermal and acoustic insulation and it also provide good aesthetic and functional features among many other qualities.
Gypsum is appropriate for every light and dry construction method for walls, ceilings, and partitions.
It’s nonflammable, excellent Insulation, Sound Absorption interior material. It’s good for the creation of beautiful & pleasant space.
Due to its inherent fire resistance, gypsum board, commonly known as drywall is the premier building material for wall, ceiling, and partition systems in residential, institutional, and commercial structures. Designed to provide a monolithic surface when joints and fastener heads are covered with a joint treatment system, gypsum products also provide sound control, economy, versatility, quality, and convenience.
Gypsum board is the technical product name used by manufacturers for a specific board with a gypsum core and a paper facing and may be further described as follows:
- Regular Gypsum Board – a gypsum board with naturally occurring fire resistance from the gypsum in the core
- Type X Gypsum Board – a gypsum board with special core additives to increase the natural fire resistance of regular gypsum board. Gypsum board is one of many gypsum panel products, defined in ASTM C11, Standard Terminology Relating to Gypsum and Related Building Materials and Systems, as “the general name for a family of sheet products consisting essentially of gypsum.” This term includes gypsum board, glass mat gypsum panels, abuse-resistant, and impact-resistant gypsum panels and gypsum shaftliner panels.
WHY GYPSUM BOARD?
Gypsum Board
All gypsum boards are fire resistant and produced in a range of thicknesses, core formulations and optional special performance enhancements. Individual boards are produced with square edges along the width of each panel and tapered edges along the length to simplify joint finishing.
Advantages and Benefits
Enhanced fire resistance was one of the first specialty performance characteristics added to standard gypsum panels, but until recently it has been primarily used in commercial and multi-tenant applications. It has much to offer single-family residential design and construction too.
Fire Resistance
Fire-Resistant Gypsum Panels are designed to be used in the construction of wall and floor / ceiling systems that reduce flame spread and smoke generation better than standard gypsum board. Fire-Resistant Gypsum Panels are classified for use in UL assemblies that can deliver fire ratings up to 3 hours in ceilings and as long as 4 hours in wall and column systems.
Construction Efficiency
Gypsum Panels are just as easy to install and finish as the standard gypsum panels covering the largest proportion of interior wall and ceiling surfaces in most single-family homes. Cutting and reliable compatibility with a broad range of finishing treatments make them a popular and efficient construction choice to provide enhanced fire safety in new construction as well as remodeling.
Noise Sound Insulation
Gypsum drywall panels have long been recognized as an effective material in the construction of interior partitions designed to help control unwanted noise because of their mass and density. Fire-Resistant Gypsum Panels perform this role especially well.
Gypsum Ceiling
Gypsum has become so popular that the difference in cost bears little to no impact on the consumer’s choice. The benefits of gypsum — factory-finished, easy-to-install and less messy — justify the reasonable increase in cost. Additionally, if the design is complex — think multiple layers or involving organic forms — gypsum will get the job done efficiently and in a shorter time-frame. You can also seamlessly pair gypsum with other materials like plywood, glass, etc for added design features in the ceiling.
Gypsum products are very susceptible to water damage. For areas that have high moisture content, such as bathrooms or dank basements, you will need to use a chemically treated gypsum wallboard that is moisture resistant.
