HIGH TEMPERATURE PLASTERBOARD
Vitcas High Temperature Plasterboard is a decorative fireproof board, which is not based on gypsum plaster, hence it is more environmentally friendly. This is because the plasterboard is naturally dried and hence does not require the energy needed for producing gypsum and does not cause secondary pollution. It is lightweight, so ideal for both internal and external applications. HT Plasterboard is very durable in comparison to other types of boards as it is resistant to fire, water, mould and has a high tensile strength, which makes it suitable for different applications. Vitcas HT Plasterboard may be used where ordinary gypsum or fire rated boards are not appropriate. Vitcas Heat Resistant Plaster can be used alongside it as a finishing layer.
