Reinforced Fiberglass Gypsum Panel , 8x4 Plasterboard 12mm For Drywall Partition
12mm Gypsum Fiberglass Plasterboard 1220x2440mm Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum Board
Product Description
Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) Panel is a building panel product, made of calcined gypsum, plaster, reinforced with glass fibers, for Mass-scale building construction, was originally developed and used since 1990 in Australia. The panel, manufactured to a thickness of 124mm under carefully controlled conditions to a length of 12 m and height of 3m, contains cavities that may be unfilled, partially filled or fully filled with reinforced concrete as per structural requirement. Experimental studies and research in Australia, China and India have shown that GFRG panels, suitably filled with plain reinforced concrete possesses substantial strength to act not only as load bearing elements but also as shear wall, capable of resisting lateral loads due to earthquake and wind. GFRG panel can also be used advantageously as in-fills (nonload bearing) in combination with RCC framed columns and beams (conventional framed construction of multi-storey building) without any restriction on number of stories micro-beams and RCC screed (acting on T-beam) can be used as floor/ roof slab.
Product Features
1. Strength and Durability: GFRG boards are highly durable and have high strength due to the reinforcement provided by glass fibers. This makes them suitable for use in areas where high impact resistance is required.
2. Fire Resistance: GFRG boards are highly fire-resistant and can withstand high temperatures without burning or emitting toxic fumes.
3. Lightweight: GFRG boards are lighter than traditional building materials such as concrete or brick, making them easier to handle and transport.
4. Mold Resistance: GFRG boards are highly resistant to mold and mildew, making them ideal for use in areas with high humidity levels.
5. Versatility: GFRG boards can be easily molded and shaped to create custom designs and architectural features.
6. Sustainability: GFRG boards are made from natural materials and can be recycled at the end of their lifespan, making them an eco-friendly option.

Product Appliction
- Interior walls and ceilings: GFRG boards are commonly used in interior walls and ceilings because of their high strength and fire-resistant properties.
- False ceilings: GFRG boards are lightweight and can be easily suspended from the ceiling. They are an ideal choice for false ceilings in commercial and residential buildings.
- Partition walls: GFRG boards are used to create partition walls in both residential and commercial buildings. They are easy to install and can be used to create temporary walls.
- Column enclosures: GFRG boards are used to enclose columns in buildings. They are fire-resistant and provide a clean, smooth finish.
- Decorative elements: GFRG boards can be used to create decorative elements such as cornices, moldings, and medallions. They can be easily molded into various shapes and sizes.
- Bathroom and kitchen walls: GFRG boards are resistant to moisture and are often used in bathrooms and kitchens to create durable and water-resistant walls.
- Exterior cladding: GFRG boards can be used as an alternative to traditional exterior cladding materials such as brick, stone, or concrete. They are lightweight, durable, and easy to install.
