What Is A Gypsum Board?
Gypsum board is a mixture of gypsum, fiberglass, and silicon. It is manufactured to become suspended gypsum ceilings, and it is used to decorate the ceilings and walls of bedrooms and kitchens as an alternative to fake ceilings. It is a German-origin technology and is divided into several types, everything about which we will talk in detail.
What Are the Types of Gypsum Board?
1- Fire-and-Moisture-Resistant Gypsum Board

2- Standard Gypsum Board

Where is the Gypsum Board Sold? How Is It Installed?
Although using the gypsum board in ceilings and walls has become common recently, Egypt lacks factories for manufacturing it. It is produced by the German Knauf Company that has a branch in Egypt, and the Italian Placo company, which has distributing companies in Egypt such as El Qods for Trade and Contracting.
The gypsum board is installed through a 4 mm thick metal chassis consisting of (corner + omega + C) pieces, then the corners are fixed to the walls, followed by the C and omegas, to form the surface level and finally the gypsum boards are installed by screws.
