GTEC Fire Board

What is GTEC Fire Board?

GTEC Fire Board is a specially designed plasterboard, crafted to meet the stringent requirements of areas demanding superior fire resistance.

Compared to standard plasterboard, GTEC Fire Board exhibits increased strength, hardness, and weight, ensuring unparalleled fire performance when integrated into GTEC Drywall Systems.

To give an idea of its fire performance, it obtains a fire resistance of 60 minutes using a single-layer 15mm Siniat in metal stud non-loadbearing partition system.

What's more, its unique pink front and grey back colouration, along with tapering on the long edges, distinguishes it from conventional plasterboards.
