<\/h2>\n

What Is A Gypsum Board?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gypsum board<\/b> is a mixture of gypsum, fiberglass, and silicon. It is manufactured to become <\/span>suspended gypsum ceilings<\/b>, and it is used to decorate the ceilings and walls of bedrooms and kitchens<\/a> as an alternative to fake ceilings. It is a German-origin technology and is divided into several types, everything about which we will talk in detail.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

What Are the Types of Gypsum Board?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1- Fire-and-Moisture-Resistant Gypsum Board\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This <\/span>gypsum<\/b> material contains silicon and fiberglass, covered with green double-sided cardboard and with green adhesive. It is frequently used in humid places such as bathrooms or kitchens, and it is the most expensive and best <\/span>type of gypsum board<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2- Standard<\/strong> G<\/span>ypsum Board<\/b><\/p>\n

It is wrapped in a layer of cardboard with the white color on one side and with the gray color on the other, as well as with a blue side adhesive. Such type can be used in any place except for humid places, such as the bathroom and the kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3- Fire-Resistant Gypsum Board<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is similar to the standard gypsum board in its packaging, but it has just a different adhesive, i.e., a red one, and it is used for walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Where is the Gypsum Board Sold? How Is It Installed?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although using the gypsum board in ceilings and walls has become common recently, <\/span>Egypt<\/b> lacks <\/span>factories for manufacturing<\/b> it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/b>It is produced by the German Knauf Company that has a branch in Egypt, and the Italian Placo company, which has distributing companies in Egypt such as El Qods for Trade and Contracting.<\/span><\/p>\n

The gypsum board is installed<\/b> through a 4 mm thick metal chassis consisting of (corner + omega + C) pieces, then the corners are fixed to the walls, followed by the C and omegas, to form the surface level and finally the gypsum boards are installed by screws.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

P<\/span>rices of Gypsum Boards<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The price<\/b> per meter ranges from EGP 120 to EGP 160, and the price per square meter for wages of <\/span>workmanship<\/span> ranges between EGP 190 and EGP 220.<\/span><\/p>\n
