Gypsum, Drywall Partitions

The Gypsum board, is one of many gypsum panel products, which is the general name for a family of sheet products consisting essentially of gypsum. Gypsum board is composed of a gypsum core encased in a paper or fiberglass mat facing. It is lightweight, easy to install, and offers excellent sound insulation and fire resistance properties.

OUR BOARDS

Various types of gypsum boards are available with UBS depending on their features and applications. Our most popular boards are:

  • Regular gypsum board: The most commonly used type, suitable for creating interior walls and ceilings in residential and commercial buildings.

  • Fire-resistant gypsum board: A type that contains additives that improve its resistance to fire, suitable for areas that require additional safety measures, such as fire-rated partitions and enclosures.

  • Moisture-resistant gypsum board: A type that contains additives that improve its resistance to moisture, suitable for areas that are exposed to high humidity or water, such as bathrooms and kitchens.

  • Acoustic gypsum board: A type that features a dense core and additional sound-damping layers, suitable for creating soundproof spaces, such as theaters, recording studios, and conference rooms¹.

OUR OTHER MAJOR BOARDS

  • Impact-resistant gypsum board: A type that has a reinforced core that enhances its durability, suitable for high-traffic areas prone to damage, such as hallways, schools, and hospitals.

  • Shaft board: A type that has a high-density gypsum core with special additives for superior moisture and fire resistance, suitable for fire-resistant applications, such as lifts, stairwells, and service shafts.

  • Glass mat sheathing board: A type that is reinforced with fiberglass mats on both sides, suitable for exterior applications, such as wall sheathing and roof underlayment.

  • Gypsum Powder: In addition to gypsum boards we supply Gypsum powder, which is a fine, white powder that is used to make plaster, cement, and other building materials. It can be mixed with water to form a paste that can be molded or shaped. It can also be used as a filler, a coating, or a fire retardant.

Accessories

  • Drywall tracks and studs: These are metal profiles that form the framework for the gypsum board walls. They come in different sizes and shapes, such as C, U, and L. They are attached to the floor, ceiling, and adjacent walls with screws or nails.

  • Drywall screws: These are special screws that are used to fasten the gypsum boards to the metal studs. They have sharp points and coarse threads that can penetrate the board and the stud without damaging them. Drywall screws are usually made of steel and have a black or gray phosphate coating to prevent corrosion. They come in different lengths and gauges, depending on the thickness of the board and the stud.

  • Drywall tape: This is a paper or fiberglass tape that is used to cover the joints between the gypsum boards. It helps to create a smooth and seamless surface and prevents cracks and gaps. Drywall tape is applied over a thin layer of joint compound, also known as mud, and then smoothed with a taping knife or a drywall knife. Drywall tape can be self-adhesive or require wetting before use.
