Areas subject to wear and tear need special consideration to reduce damage and maintenance costs. Impact Resistantย Plasterboard makes it ideal for all areas of high pedestrian traffic in all building types and it should be used wherever there is a risk of impact damage. These risk areas include corridors, foyers and stair shafts in commercial buildings, shopping centers, cinemas, offices, sports stadiums, schools, hospitals and nursing homes.
The Impact Resistant Plasterboard is a purpose designed fiberglass bonded and meshย reinforced plasterboard which is resistant to indentations and impact punctures. Impact damage resistance is not directly related to acousticย performance, and acoustic requirements should beย addressed as an additional issue where appropriate.ย Impact Resistant Plasterboard can also be used inย fire rated wall systems as well asย acoustic wall systemsย given the productโs high density.
An impact resistant drywall system can be designed and constructed from any Jumbo Drywall system by substituting Impact Resistant Plasterboard in lieu of Standard Jumbo Plasterboard. Fire and acoustic ratings can still be maintained using a impact resistant plasterboard.
