Innovative materials like fermacell® fibre gypsum boards are transforming how architects approach internal wall construction, offering a smarter, faster alternative to traditional blockwork and plasterboard systems without sacrificing strength or performance.
One of the most compelling advantages of fermacell® fibre gypsum boards are their installation flexibility. Unlike blockwork, which typically requires the building envelope to be sealed before internal walls can be constructed, fermacell® fibre gypsum boards can be installed before the envelope is closed.
By enabling earlier commencement of internal works, fermacell® helps compress the overall schedule, allowing multiple trades to work in parallel and reducing idle time on site.
Speed is another critical factor. fermacell® fibre gypsum boards are quicker to install than blockwork, thanks to its dry construction method and ease of handling. There’s no need for wet trades, curing times, or complex logistics around mortar and mixing.
Installers can move swiftly, and the boards can be cut and fixed with standard tools, streamlining the process even further. For architects working on tight deadlines or fast-track projects, this speed translates directly into time saved and milestones met
fermacell® fibre gypsum boards deliver the strength and durability of blockwork, making them suitable for high-impact areas, crowd loading applications and demanding environments.
