British Gypsum specialist boards have been developed for the most demanding situations which call
for higher levels of combined fire, moisture and acoustic performance. From external sheathing to steel
encasement, these products deliver performance that cannot be achieved by standard boards, reducing
the number of layers required or providing unique solutions.
