Fermacell

Description and main purpuse of use

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
