Fermacell

fermacell is made from gypsum and recycled paper fibres. These two natural raw materials are mixed with water, without any other binders being added. The gypsum reacts with the water, penetrating and enveloping the fibres. The mixture is then pressed into stable boards under high pressure, dried, coated with a water repellent, and cut to the required sizes. This produces high stability and no combustibility Because of its material composition, fermacell boards are suitable for general construction, fire protection, and wet rooms.

Main advantages of fermacell

• Comfortable indoor climate
: fermacell Gypsum Fibreboards  are made of gypsum and paper fibres, without any other binders. The breathing and insulating material ensures a comfortable indoor climate.
• Load carrying: 
Up to 50 kg per cavity fixing and 30 kg per screw. Eliminates Noggings.
• Suitable for wet rooms: 
fermacell Gypsum Fibreboards are extremely suitable for rooms with variable humidity, e.g. domestic bathrooms.
• Impact resistant: 
fermacell Gypsum Fibreboard reduces double layering or the use of sheathing ply. The homogeneous board structure makes it sturdy and able to withstand mechanical loading.
• Fire resistant: 
60 minutes fire resistance from single layer partitions up to 10 m high. Class ‘0’ certification. European class A2.
• Perfect sound insulation
: Tests conducted by various worldwide institutes confirms outstanding sound insulating properties.

SECA

SECA combines 100 years’ tradition of family owned business and the resulting depth of experience with innovation fuelled by constant contact with partners: both at the supply and at the market end.
Standard range of wood profiles is available in various different woods and sizes; it covers profiles for ceilings and walls, solid wood floors, structural timber and attractive decking for terraces.

Most common wood species used for SECA profiled timber

• Spruce is a good solution for the interior and for facades which are not directly exposed to weather.
• Siberian larch is generally considered as a very durable wood species. The slightly red surface turns grey after being exposed to weather without using a surface treatment.
• Thermic treated pine is very durable solution for outdoor using. The manufacturing process of Thermo-Wood is based on the use of high temperature (185-225 °C) and steam. The process improves dimensional stability and biological durability of wood.
