Hello, everyone! This is Kikuchi Souken Company Limited website.

This time, for us as a construction work company of which we are mainly taking charge of「LGS(=light gauge steel)」・・・「board work」・・・gypsum board,

we are thinking of explaining gypsum board again, as we can say that it is definitely a work essence for us.

 

We are explaining it with work site pictures as much as possible.

 

 

What is gypsum board?

Gypsum board is, an inexpensive and well workability board material, which is finished with gypsum as core material and base paper is rolled on the surface.

 

As the price is low and its workability is good, frequency of using it is the highest as board material.

 

As it can be processed with general tool such as cutter or so, therefore its workability is nice.

 

※We do not touch on explaining gypsum itself this time.

 

Basic features of gypsum board

 

The reason why gypsum board is often used for interior decorative material is not only because it is inexpensive and the workability is good.

 

• ●Fire retardant property and fire resistant property are good. The most often used 12.5mm thick gypsum board is certified as incombustible material.
• ●Sound insulating property is high.
• ●Product variety is abundant. Not only price is low, there are also various function enforced products.
• ●Its dimensional stability is good, so it is most suitable as interior decorative material.
• ●It can be recycled, so it is an eco product.
• ●But, it is weak in water resistance.

 

Background of popular gypsum board as this is, besides low price, as it is an incombustible material, it can be used at almost any place, which can be listed as big feature.

 

There are three grades including incombustible material for fireproof performance of interior decorative material. However, we do not touch on it this time.

 

As for gypsum board, fireproof performance differs according to its thickness. Comparing with wooden plywood or so, it has high waterproof standard.

 

Dimension stability is pointed to be that material dimension changes according to temperature and humidity. As for gypsum board, its stability is high.

 

In addition, gypsum board is called resource circulation type product. Almost all of its products are made by recycled materials. And offcut materials and tidy demolished materials are sent to intermediate processing facility and are being recycled.

 

From here, we are simply explaining main variety of such gypsum boards with using work site pictures.

 

On our article this time, for convenience of our explanation, a lot of specific corporate names, product names are included. Other than products which we explained here, as there are products with various functions・colors and patterns too, we would like to suggest you to directly check with individual manufactures or so on products themselved.
