ceiling Solutions<br />
Ceiling systems should always effectively meet industry standards, be practical<br />
and quick to install.<br />
Lafarge Gypsum’s range of components, inclusive of decorative mouldings,<br />
access panels and solutions for curved or vaulted ceilings, certainly satisfy<br />
these requirements.<br />
Our ceiling solutions include:<br />
Exposed ceilings:<br />
• Suspended white-capped grid;<br />
• Lafarge plaster grid;<br />
• Vinyl ceiling tiles;<br />
• Thermal ceiling tiles;<br />
• Mineral fibre ceiling tiles; and<br />
• Suspension systems.<br />
Fixed ceilings:<br />
• Suspended knurled face plaster grid;<br />
• Steel brandering;<br />
• Lafarge plasterboard;<br />
• Suspension systems; and<br />
• Access panels.<br />
Lafarge Lay-in Suspended Ceilings:<br />
Suspended ceilings are ideal for concealing unsightly services and/or untidy<br />
structural elements in commercial buildings, while also providing good insulation<br />
and an aesthetically-pleasing finish.<br />
Lafarge Gypsum’s suspended ceilings provide an elegant, yet simple and costeffective<br />
solution. Ceiling heights may be varied, while remaining within specification.<br />
In addition, performance specifications are met through the selection of the most<br />
appropriate grade of ceiling tile and insulation. Our suspended ceilings are quickly<br />
and easily assembled on-site, using a versatile range of standardised components<br />
manufactured from galvanised material with white capped-face exposed sections.<br />
Lafarge Ceiling Grids:<br />
Lafarge Gypsum offers two exposed face ceiling grid size solutions and one<br />
plaster grid (concealed) size option.<br />
The suspended ceiling grid, inclusive of 3 600mm main tees, together with<br />
1 200mm and 600mm cross tees in 24mm and 35mm face alternatives, is an<br />
exposed-face tee system, manufactured from galvanised steel, capped across the<br />
exposed face.<br />
The plaster grid, inclusive of 3 600mm main tees and 1 200mm cross tees in a<br />
35mm knurled face, concealed system may be clad with 9mm, 12mm or 15mm<br />
standard tapered-edge Lafarge Plasterboard and fixed with 25mm drywall screws.<br />
Joints should be appropriately prepared for painting or the complete surface may<br />
be plastered, using Lafarge Skim-Lite, Skim-Stone or Finishing plaster.<br />
Lafarge Vinyl Ceiling Tiles:<br />
Lafarge Gypsum’s range of 9mm and 12mm plasterboard ceiling tiles are ideal for<br />
today’s modern building decoration.<br />
These high-quality, light-weight ceiling tiles – with vinyl laminate – are quick to install,<br />
easy to maintain and are available in square-edge, 1 200 x 600 and 600 x 600 layin<br />
ceiling installations. Lafarge Gypsum’s ceiling tiles are manufactured from quality<br />
plasterboard and when combined with our Gridlock ceiling grid, this tile approach<br />
delivers an aesthetically pleasing ceiling solution. Although our vinyl ceiling tiles do not<br />
require painting, it is imperative that the supporting structure be accurate and sound<br />
to ensure a high standard of ceiling finish. A complete range of fixing accessories,<br />
including ceiling tees and hold-down clips is also available.<br />
Lafarge Fixed Ceilings:<br />
Lafarge Gypsum offers a choice of two fixed ceiling solutions, steel plaster grid<br />
and steel brandering, including an alternative, where plasterboards are fixed<br />
directly to timber brandering.<br />
Suspended Fixed Plasterboard Ceilings:<br />
Lafarge Gypsum’s 6,4mm, 9mm and 12mm options may be used for these<br />
applications and all are dependent on specific requirements. Plasterboard ceiling<br />
solutions, which meet stringent performance standards, while being very pleasing<br />
to the eye, offer a simple, quick and cost-effective answer for both new buildings<br />
and refurbishment projects.<br />
Steel Brandering and Direct Fixed Timber:<br />
Lafarge Gypsum’s steel brandering has been designed as an alternative to timber<br />
brandering and is typically utilised for domestic applications.<br />
Plasterboard may be attached directly to the underside of the steel brandering<br />
which is, itself, suspended from timber joists and tie beams using steel suspension<br />
brackets. Fixing is simple and the end result provides a smooth finish for final<br />
decoration.<br />
The plasterboard, too, may be given a textured finish to further enhance the<br />
aesthetics of the completed ceiling.<br />
The steel brandering approach is cost-effective, eco-friendly, ensures straightness<br />
and a level finish and is easily installed. In addition, plasterboard ceilings provide<br />
the opportunity to upgrade basic new or existing ceiling construction, improving<br />
overall looks, insulation and sound absorption.<br />

partition Solutions<br />
Lafarge Gypsum’s fixed and remountable partition systems are ideal for residential<br />
and commercial building projects.<br />
They are light, easy to handle and quick and simple to install. The range of<br />
specification options also deliver superior acoustic and insulation qualities and<br />
are fire-resistant for up to 120 minutes.<br />
Being dimensionally accurate, Lafarge Gypsum’s partitions, when fixed to<br />
specification, are stable and offer the opportunity of fixing service within the<br />
cavity, including power skirting options.<br />
Lafarge Fixed Partitions:<br />
Lafarge Gypsum Drywall is a light-weight, non-demountable partition system<br />
devoid of visible joints when complete.<br />
At a time when organisations are constantly evaluating and improving their<br />
operations and, with this, their staff and office environments, the Lafarge<br />
Finesse Re-locatable Partition system is the perfect foil for the design of work<br />
environments of different styles, based on sound, limited fire-rating, privacy and<br />
space considerations.<br />
The system, with its superb detailing and fine finishes, is easily installed and<br />
fully re-locatable in component form, while all unsightly electrical, data and<br />
communication cables remain hidden from view within the partition’s inner<br />
cavities, or placed in especially-designed power skirting at the base of the<br />
partition system.<br />
The internal framework comprises standard ridgeback stud and drywall track<br />
profiles, manufactured from galvanised steel. Tapered-edge plasterboard is<br />
screw-fixed to the studs, allowing for plaster jointing and decoration following<br />
installation.<br />
The plasterboard is held in position at the base by skirting and fixed to the steel<br />
framework with 25mm drywall screws. In instances where the partition is installed<br />
beneath a plastered ceiling, galvanised drywall track is used to affix the partition<br />
to the ceiling.<br />
Aluminium trim profiles, doors and windows can also be easily installed in this<br />
partitioning system.<br />
Either paint or wallpaper finishes may be applied to Lafarge Gypsum’s fixed<br />
partitions, creating finishes of exacting quality.<br />
Lafarge Finesse Re-locatable Partitions:<br />
The Lafarge Finesse Re-locatable Partition System, created to accommodate the<br />
requirements of the most technologically-advanced office environment, provides<br />
for unprecedented freedom in planning the optimum work-place and maximising<br />
the use of available floor space.<br />
The system’s in-built flexibility frees designers from the restraints of other systems<br />
and provides for easy adaptation or adjustment, as required.<br />
This single system may be utilised to introduce both full-height and low-level<br />
partitions in the design of work-stations.<br />

fire Solutions<br />
In construction today, fire protection remains a primary consideration; one which<br />
affects both lives and livelihoods. Systems selected must have a proven trackrecord<br />
of reliability and effectiveness.<br />
Lafarge Gypsum prides itself not only on the reliability and effectiveness of its fire<br />
protection systems, but also the drywall advantage, which makes these systems<br />
more economical and practical to install on-site than alternative construction<br />
methods. Our extensive range of fire protection products and systems has<br />
undergone exhaustive testing and has been refined again and again to meet<br />
broad and exacting regulatory standards.<br />
All our plasterboards have a gypsum core, enjoying positive spread-of-flame test<br />
results. Indeed, Lafarge Gypsum Plasterboard systems are capable of achieving<br />
fire resistance of between 30 and 120 minutes.<br />
In instances where high levels of fire protection are required, Lafarge Gypsum’s<br />
Firecheck Plasterboard of either 12,5mm or 15mm thick may be specified.<br />
Lafarge Firecheck Plasterboard contains exfoliated vermiculite and fibreglass<br />
strands within the gypsum core, increasing fire resistance, and is differentiated by<br />
its covering of pink paper liner.<br />
It is available in 12,5mm and 15mm thicknesses and is recommended for use in<br />
areas where additional fire resistance is required, such as kitchens, record and<br />
filing rooms, fire escapes and for specified office partitions.<br />
Internal Partition System:<br />
• 12mm Standard Plasterboard (89m thick) – one layer each side - 30-minute<br />
fire rating;<br />
• 15mm Technical Firecheck Plasterboard (94mm thick) – one layer each side -<br />
60-minute fire rating;<br />
• 12mm Standard Plasterboard (112mm thick) – double layer each<br />
side - 60-minute fire rating;<br />
• 12,5mm Technical Firecheck Plasterboard (89mm thick) – one layer each side<br />
80kg/m³ “U” thermo matt wire mesh-surfaced fibre blanket – 60-minute<br />
fire rating;<br />
• 12,5mm Technical Firecheck Plasterboard (115mm thick) – 0,5mm galvanised<br />
steel between double layer of Technical Firecheck Plasterboard on each side -<br />
120-minute fire rating;<br />
• 15mm Technical Firecheck Plasterboard (124mm thick) – double layer each side<br />
- 120-minute fire rating.<br />

moisture Solutions<br />
Lafarge Moisture Check Plasterboard:<br />
Lafarge Moisture-Resistant Plasterboard is the perfect solution for ‘wet’ area<br />
application, such as bathrooms, showers, kitchens and protected external<br />
locations. This plasterboard, lined on both sides with a highly-distinctive and easily<br />
recognised green water repellent paper, is especially well-suited to utilisation in<br />
areas requiring the application of ceramic wall tiles. However, it is not appropriate<br />
for protection against continual damp, or as a base for cement rendering.<br />
Containing silicone within the gypsum core, Lafarge Moisture-Resistant<br />
Plasterboard comes in a range of sizes. Two thickness options are available,<br />
12,5mm and the newly introduced 15mm, while lengths vary between 2 700mm,<br />
3 000mm and 3 600mm, all are 1 200mm wide. The 15mm plasterboard is<br />
regarded as stronger than its counterpart and should be used in vertical<br />
applications only. It is particularly suitable for utilisation in tandem with steel<br />
frame construction. These plasterboards are, however, unsuitable for usage in<br />
temperatures above 52°C and may not be subjected to freezing temperatures,<br />
without the risk of damage.<br />

acoustic Solutions<br />
Lafarge Acoustic Solutions:<br />
Lafarge Acoustic Ceilings are excellent for improving sound absorption in,<br />
especially, commercial applications, such as auditoriums, concert halls, conference<br />
facilities, schools and large open ceiling areas in hotels. Although acoustic factors<br />
are not regarded as critical for use in domestic buildings, the installation of<br />
acoustic ceilings in home theatres would also enhance sound.<br />
This high-performance square-pattern perforated gypsum board system is<br />
aesthetically appealing, as well as having superior acoustic qualities, providing a<br />
noise reduction co-efficient of up to 0,60.<br />
A protective glass mat, glued to the back of the board, prevents dust emission,<br />
makes installation an easy one-step process and as simple as that of standard<br />
systems. Critically, Lafarge Acoustic Ceilings offer a cost-effective method of<br />
ensuring significant noise reduction, without compromising quality design<br />
specifications in commercial buildings.<br />

By leading innovation, the future of profiled concepts is here with Lafarge<br />
Prefabricated Bulkheads.<br />
Curved Surfaces:<br />
Curved wall surfaces, once dependent on time-consuming, wet plaster technology<br />
or expensive fibrous prefabricated plaster mouldings, may now be constructed<br />
quickly and inexpensively using Lafarge Gypsum Plasterboard systems.<br />
Lafarge thin Plasterboard may be curved into many forms to fit a variety of<br />
desired wall and ceiling design requirements, ideal for prestigious interiors, such<br />
as multiplex cinemas, leisure complexes or luxury hotels. Our plasterboards herald<br />
new opportunities for the creation of high-quality, attractive and supremely<br />
sophisticated three-dimensional forms, while minimising construction time and<br />
creating contract budget savings. Lafarge thin Plasterboard may be used dry to<br />
form wall curves with radii down to 1 000mm, or – when wetted – with radii as<br />
small as 600mm. Thicker plasterboards may also be curved if wetted. The grid<br />
design is considered to be of paramount importance.<br />
In addition, the Lafarge Plasterboard Ceiling System brings to the construction<br />
scene a new reality; a simple and inexpensive solution to forming vaulted and<br />
curved ceilings of virtually any shape or size, so creating the ultimate in dramatic<br />
effects, intimacy and special lighting outcomes. The grid design is considered to<br />
be of paramount importance.<br />
