GYPSUM BLOCK
◦ Gypsum block is a massive lightweight building
material composed of solid gypsum, for building and
erecting lightweight fire-resistant non-load bearing
interior walls, partition walls, cavity walls, skin walls
and pillar casing indoors.
◦ Gypsum blocks are composed of gypsum plaster, water
and in some cases additives like vegetable or wood fibre
for greater strength.
◦ Partition walls made from gypsum blocks require no
sub-structure for erection and gypsum adhesive is used
as bonding agent, not standard mortar.
 SPECIFICATIONS
◦ The dimensions of these blocks are: length 500 mm, height 500 mm. Four blocks thus make 1 m².
◦ Gypsum blocks vary in thickness - 2", 3", 4" and 6“.
For construction purposes especially two densities are important:
◦ The medium gross density of 850 kg/m³ to 1.100 kg/m³ (white coloured blocks, suitable for
standard usage)
◦ The high gross density blocks of 1.100 kg/m³ to 1.500 kg/m³ (reddish colour, suitable for walls
with higher acoustic performance requirements)
PROPERTIES
Gypsum blocks combine the advantages of classical masonry with modern drywall
construction. Similar to masonry, walls built with gypsum blocks are massive, void-
free and of high stability. Because no mortar, sand or plaster are used, the walls are
(almost) built without water, like drywalls. 
FIRE RESISTANCE
◦ Massive gypsum blocks have a high level
of passive fire protection: 60 mm thickness
offers 30 minutes of fire resistance (F30-A
in accordance with the German DIN 4102
standard, the European EN 13501 or the
British BS 476); 80 mm thickness offers 2
hours of fire resistance
SOUND PROOF
◦ To improve the sound proof qualities
of gypsum block partition walls,
insulation strips are used on all sides
to connect the partition walls to
adjacent walls, ceilings and floors.
The acoustic decoupling of the walls
in this way reduces the acoustic
transmissions of these lightweight
partition walls significantly
EASE OF INSTALLATION
• Gypsum board building systems are easy to install for several reasons. Gypsum
board panels are relatively large compared to other materials. They come in 48- and
54-inch wide sheets and in lengths of 8, 10, or 12 feet, so they quickly cover large
wall and ceiling areas.
DURABILITY
• Gypsum board is used to construct strong, high quality walls and ceilings that offer
excellent dimensional stability and durability. Surfaces created using gypsum board
are easily decorated and refinished.

VERSATILITY
• Gypsum board satisfies a wide range of architectural requirements for design. Ease
of application, performance, ease of repair, availability, and its adaptability to all
forms of decoration combine to make gypsum board unmatched by any other
surfacing product.

 APPLICATION
◦ Gypsum blocks are for use internally, as partition
walling in all kind of building constructions e.g. flats,
dwellings, industrial buildings, offices, hospitals,
schools, nursing homes etc.
DESIGN AND COMPOSITION
◦ Rectangular, smooth solid gypsum blocks,
manufactured from high-quality plaster, water and in
some cases additives.
CONCERN
◦ Never use in areas in which moisture exposure could
occur
