EXTREME DUTY HYBRID PARTITION GIVES GREATER FLEXIBILITY

British Gypsum has introduced a hybrid version of its award-winning GypWall EXTREME partition system for applications where a separating structure requires performance beyond the current BS5234 maximum ‘Severe Duty’ rating, to one side only.

The flexibility offered by the new hybrid system ensures that specifiers of education and healthcare buildings can achieve maximum economy, whilst ensuring the best possible combination of performance to meet the needs of adjoining spaces, such as corridors and supervised classrooms or wards.

The new GypWall EXTREME/ ROBUST hybrid is based on the same partition system that has already won recognition in the recent CPA and Interbuild 07 awards. It comprises a Gypframe metal stud core faced to one side with the company’s latest super impact resistant Glasroc Rigidur H high density fibre board, and to the reverse with 15mm Gyproc DuraLine board.

The new hybrid is an even more cost effective alternative to standard blockwork or existing fibreboard-based systems that enables additional performance, and therefore cost, to be applied only where it is needed.

It meets all of the BB93 and new DSCF acoustic requirements, whilst providing single-side tested performance to resist damage caused by a range of common accidental and deliberate impacts from kicking, to glancing blows from trolleys and scratch damage through continued rubbing of furniture etc. The Gyproc DuraLine face also meets BS 5234 Severe Duty in a single layer, for normal day to day traffic requirements.
