From shower areas to swimming pools and wet rooms waterproofing has always provided a construction challenge.Fermacell has four options for exposure to water and moisture.
In general domestic applications and where the relative humidity does not exceed 80% or where protection from water is provided by tiles, regular Fermacell Gypsum Fibreboards can be used in partitions and linings.
For shower and wet areas in commercial and domestic applications, Fermacell Powerpanel H2O board provides an impervious to water solution. H2O boards can also be used for semi exposed external applications such as soffits.
Fermacell Powerpanel HD Boards are for external cladding on timber-framed construction providing weatherproofing, structural rigidity, fire protection and sound proofing.
The Fermacell Waterproofing system is for surface sealing Fermacell Boards against moisture providing an impervious coating. This allows the installer/ developer to utilise the benefits of Fermacell and sealing the boards against water in wet areas (splashback areas) at the same time.
