Hilux Calcium Silicate Board is made of calcareous and siliceous materials, reinforced with fibres. It is cured under high steam pressure and temperature to provide a stable, strong crystalline structure. Water Resistance Hilux boards are also highly water resistant and maintain their strength under conditions that other boards would not be able to withstand. When Hilux boards are immersed in water for 24 hours, they might lose their strength slightly but they regain their full strength as soon as they are dried. Placing the boards in water has no long-term effect on the board or on most of the decorated surfaces, hence they can be used in high humid areas or in places where there is a risk of water accidentally coming in contact with the board. Termite Resistance Another advantage of Hilux Calcium Silicate boards is that they are termite resistant as well. Unlike other building materials, like Gypsum plaster- based boards and Plywood wood-based products, Hilux boards are highly resistant to termites and attacks from other vermin. This is because it is made of inorganic minerals and has stable crystalline structure, owing to use of minerals in the surface structure of the boards. In addition to this, the boards do not contribute to fungus growth and also have anti-bacterial properties Light Weight Hilux boards are light in weight therefore can be handled easily. Its dry density is 850-950 Kg/m 3 . Strength & Durability The stable crystalline structure makes the boards strong and durable. The boards are strong enough to take normal impacts. They do not degrade or deteriorate physically. Flexibility Hilux boards are also very flexible in design terms. A 6mm thick Hilux board can be bent (minimum radius-600mm) to provide curved surfaces. Boards will bend more easily, if bent across their long axis when they are wet or saturated. Decoration Hilux boards are also highly water resistant and maintain their strength under conditions that other boards would not be able to withstand. When Hilux boards are immersed in water for 24 hours, they might lose their strength slightly but they regain their full strength as soon as they are dried. Placing the boards in water has no long-term effect on the board or on most of the decorated surfaces, hence they can be used in high humid areas or in places where there is a risk of water accidentally coming in contact with the board. Easy Workability Calcium Silicate boards are very easy to work with as they can be cut and drilled with ordinary carpenter's tools and can also be sanded with conventional papers.

Armstrong mineral fibre acoustical ceiling tiles are a great commercial solution to enhance the interior of any building project. ANF, BioGuard, BioGuard Acoustics, Classic Lite, Classic Max, Dune, Dune Max, Fine Fissured, Ultima, Suprema, Visual etc.   Synthetic mineral fibers are fibrous inorganic substances made primarily from rock, clay, slag, or glass. These fibers are classified into three general groups: fiberglass (glass wool and glass filament), mineral wool (rock wool and slag wool), and refractory ceramic fibers (RCF)

SHERA ceiling board is available from 3.2 mm to 6 mm thickness. SHERA ceiling board, offers better properties of toughness, work ability and water / moisture resistance. SHERA ceiling board has worldwide acceptance and 50 years durability warranty. SHERA ceiling board is the perfect choice for External Soffit and Internal Ceiling where speedy construction and easy installation are required; an ideal application for wet areas like bathrooms, laundry and kitchen areas. SHERA board – a fibre cement board with high impact strength and moisture and fire resistant properties SHERA board is the perfect choice for building board applications such as wall cladding, wall partitioning and decorative walling.

Benefits of SHERA Fibre Cement Board: SHERA fibre cement boards Weather resistant Immune to water damage Fire resistant Provides sound insulation Shatter resistant Low shrinkage Flexible High degree of workability Termite resistant Matching the Demands of Modern Applications SHERA Board is a non-asbestos fibre-cement product composed of Portland cement, cellulose fibre and refined sand.  Using a special manufacturing process called autoclave, SHERA board acquires the strength, durability of cement and easy workability of wood as well as dimensional stability.  A non-combustible multi-purpose application fibre-cement flat board, SHERA Board comes with various thicknesses which are suitable for various applications; ceiling, wall, and floor.  It can be used for both exterior and interior applications. SHERA Boards can perfectly be calibrated and then laminated or coated with other materials, such as eg. wood veneer. Shera Ceiling Board New formula for increased toughness Suitable for external ceilings/soffits Ideal for internal wet areas like shower rooms and restrooms Flexible with a minimum radius of 1-2 meters

Characteristics Gypboard plain plasterboard is a standard gypsum board consisting of an aerated gypsum core encased in and firmly bonded to, strong paper liners. Gyproc fireline consists of an aerated gypsum core with glass fibre and other additives encased in and firmly bonded to, strong paper liners that are pink. Gyproc moisture resistant consists of an aerated gypsum core with special water repellent additives encased in and firmly bonded to, strong moisture-resistant paper liners that are green. Gyproc duraline is a gypsum plasterboard with a higher density core and glass fibres. It is designed for use in drywall partition systems to give greater impact resistance in heavy use areas. Application Suitable for use in most system applications where normal fire, structural and acoustic levels are specified. The product is ideal for false ceilings.

Sound Investment Optra acoustical wall systems from Armstrong effectively control unwanted noise.The key feature of this engineered system is a glass fibre acoustical inner core, for superior sound absorption, covered with a wide range of special fire resistant fabric. Optra acoustical wall systems are a smart investment in productivity. People work harder and more efficiently when not disturbed by unwanted noise. In fact, in many environments speech privacy has become a mandate. Optra acoustical wall systems are an environment-friendly, easy-to-install system that's very affordable. Easy Installation Optra acoustical wall systems are easy to install over existing walls or directly to studs with minimal workplace disruption. Standard installation method is with impalers, J or Z splines can be used to create an exposed system.  Acoustical performance Optra acoustical wall systems absorb 90% of sound striking the surface - reducing noise within a space reducing noise transfer between spaces and places desiring the practicality of a tackable surface. Application areas Optra acoustical wall systems are ideal for use in commercial, institutional and educational buildings - anywhere noise reduction and privacy are a concern. They can be used in any room or hallway, even exit corridors.

Gyproc false ceilings and drywalls are lightweight and easy to install. Besides enhancing the beauty of any interior space, they also provide better acoustics, fire protection and thermal insulation. They are 100% recyclable. A drywall or false ceiling system has a strong spine of GI metal framework with plasterboard as its face. The metal framework gives the system its strength, long life and enhanced performance. Any compromise on the quality of the metal components can lead to permanent system failure.   Advantages of Gypsteel ULTRA ® Increased load carrying capacity of as high as 36% Improved screw retention of 17% and increased spring tension of 30%. The unique knurling design improves sound insulation by 10% and fire resistance by 33%.   Installation: Faster, safer and easier to install and cut Increased friction fitting No screw stripping or screw riding Sight lines on flanges for more precise joints Improved productivity and quality Tighter stud to track friction fitting Improved safety by reducing sharp edges and lips
