Overview 12mm - FW

GYPSEMLINE FIREWALL Gypsum Sheathing Board 12 mm (GLFW TE 12 mm) is a factory-produced 1.2m wide gypsum plasterboard. It offers high-quality properties of non-combustibility and mechanical stability, making it suitable for screw-fastening to drywall structures in both steel and wooden sections. The GLFW TE 12 gypsum plasterboard is encased in a heavy, natural-finish, pink-coloured liner paper on the face side and a strong, brown-coloured liner paper on the back. The face paper is folded around the tapered long edges (on the face side only) to reinforce and protect the core. The cross ends are square-cut. This taper allows for the concealing of joints with appropriate joint treatment.
