📌 3 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT GYPSUM BOARD (1 PART)
✅ Plasterboard is basically an inner layer of gypsum sandwiched between two outer layers of lining paper including various additives in the gypsum layer and varying the weight and strength of the lining paper, will give the finished board different properties.
✅ Gypsum is made up of crystals containing a small amount of water (known as water of crystallisation). In a fire, this water is driven-off, helping to keep the temperature of the fire down, and preventing rapid fire spread.
✅ Gypsum board is good for cutting down noise transmission particularly airborne sounds such as speech and music.
