Gypsum-fiber sheet (GVL): application, classification, advantages

A relatively new material on the Russian construction market are gypsum-fiber sheets. They are widely used in the arrangement of interior partitions, floors and ceilings. GVL sheets are part of a group of difficult combustible materials.

What are the advantages of the material?

• High load-bearing capacity.
• A screw, twisted into a sheet of GVL, can withstand a load of up to thirty kilograms.
• Optimal moisture capacity.
• Great durability.
• Compliance for processing under individual requests.

You can purchase sheets of different sizes - 2500 x 1200 x 10 mm, 2500 x 1200 x 12.5 mm, 1200 x 1200 x 10 mm, 1200 x 600 x 20 mm and 1500 x 500 x 20 mm. In the Center for Building Equipment, here the price of the GVL sheet is relatively low, which makes it possible to widely use this material in budget construction. At the same time, it has optimal characteristics for ensuring environmental cleanliness and a favorable indoor climate.

The main component of sheets of gypsum plaster is gypsum (80-85% of the total volume), dilute cellulose paper (15-20%) is added to it. The latter provides the viscosity and elasticity of the composition. The density of the material is similar to expanded clay concrete. The higher the density, the smaller the thickness of the sheet. The sound absorption of GWL is at the level of 40 decibels. When in the water for 24 hours the material will swell by 1.5%.

Classification

Sheets GVL can be unpolished and polished, with edges and with chamfers, with edges without bevels. Chamfers ensure the creation of an inconspicuous and lasting seam in the process of filling the joints. GVL without chamfers also find wide application. They are indispensable for the installation of internal layers of the partition or wall lining.

Where is the GWL sheet applied?

Both moisture-resistant and standard gypsum-fiber sheets can be used in public buildings, residential and industrial premises, administrative complexes.

Applications:

• Finishing of surfaces in bathrooms and bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms and anteroom. If additional moisture protection is required, the material is treated with a hydrophobic composition. For decorative decoration can be used, including ceramic tiles.
• Sheathing of attic, attic and basement rooms. An important condition is the arrangement of the ventilation system.
• The device of a coupler of dry type. Thanks to the laying of sheets of GVL it is possible to avoid the laborious procedure of creating a classical "wet" screed.
• Sheathing of ceilings, walls of garages and hozpostroek. GVL sheets are able to perform their function even in unheated rooms where there is a risk of freezing.
• Sheathing of shield, boiler, elevator shafts. In case of fire, gypsum-fiber sheets are able to contain the spread of fire.
• Primary construction and repair of children's playrooms, gyms, courts. GWL as a particularly strong material is not deformed under the influence of a large point load (for example, when a ball hits, toys, etc.).

In order not to overpay for excess building material, you can choose the best option in the online store, for example at www.stroymat.msk.ru. Price of sheet GVL Depends on its size. Save and help the lack of unnecessary characteristics. So, you can choose sheets with increased moisture resistance or standard.

Both installation and operation of sheets of GVL are not very complicated. Due to the high flexibility, density and low level of melting, the amount of waste is minimized. The material can be attached to both wooden and metal frames. To cut it, no special tools are needed. GVL are manufactured in accordance with GOST, which guarantees their high quality.
