Sound Protect

Gypsemna Sound Protect is used in interior wall and ceiling in building applications requiring acoustic performance. The board is suitable for both new construction and renovation projects with steel framing. The boards are typically screw-fixed to steel studs spaced at a maximum of 600 mm. They can also be installed by lamination or using appropriate adhesive systems.

Overview

Gypsemna Sound Protect (SP - 12.5mm) is an interior gypsum board consisting of a solid-set, sound-protective Type X gypsum core, enclosed in purple-coloured face paper and a strong liner back paper. The board provides enhanced acoustic performance when used in tested wall and ceiling assemblies. The long edges are slightly tapered to allow joints to be reinforced and concealed with joint tape and joint compound. Both the face and back papers are 100% recyclable.
