The building interior industry is now developing rapidly to support the comfort, safety, and aesthetic value of a building. One material that is very popular to support this goal is gypsum board. Now incombustible boards have also been developed with more advantages than their safety and aesthetic functions. Then how to install this material for walls and roofs?

Incombustible Board with Fiberglass
To support the interior appearance of a house or building to make it safer and more comfortable, materials such as gypsum board are needed. Now, there is also a type of incombustible board that is popular as a more modern interior design material, different from plywood boards on ceilings. Not only for roofing needs, but this can also be an alternative material for partition walls which previously used brick and cement. This is not without reason, using this type of board users will get benefits such as:
- Stability and strength to withstand loads. Even though the structure is lighter, this board has a stable character and is suitable for wall or roof partitions.
- It can withstand flames and heat according to its function.
- It is good as insulation with the ability to withstand surface and room temperature stability up to 140 ̊ C for areas not exposed to direct heat.
- It is good to install it in areas that are damp and prone to fire.
- Its acoustic capabilities are suitable for you to use in office or factory areas because it can reduce sound.
- It can create a comfortable and aesthetic atmosphere as a construction material.
Every homeowner must be aware of the potential for fires that could occur at any time. The best solution is to equip the building with a fire-resistant gypsum board. None other than that, the aim is to minimize the risk of fire disasters in buildings. You have to check the material that makes up the board. Naturally, these boards usually consist of natural gypsum minerals. The nature of the material contains water particles which means it is incombustible or does not spread fire.
Innovation continues to develop in this industry, resulting in fire-resistant boards. Apart from natural mineral content, the incombustibles currently available also contain fiberglass. So, the mixture of these two materials works more effectively for fire retardant performance. The material that makes up this board is free of Volatile Organic Compounds so it is safer and environmentally friendly because users can recycle it.
Build Walls and Ceilings Using Incombustible Board
Choosing building materials that can withstand fire or heat is crucial to reduce the risk of super losses if a fire occurs. Non-combustible materials such as bricks, concrete blocks, support boards, calcium silicate boards, fire retardant boards, metal, and types of glass make buildings safer from fire.
Non-combustible fire retardant board is the best for meeting thermal, and acoustic insulation control for hull and deck heads on board naval and merchant vessels and drilling rig platforms. But not only for ship parts, is this board also beneficial for the interior design of a house or office building.
The Benefits and Limitations of Incombustible Board
Manufacturers purposely make boards fireproof to stop the spread of heat, smoke, flames, and gasses. It is a mineral matrix-engineered board to resist fire within building compartments and ceilings. With the right thickness and smooth surface, you get the aesthetics of the room using this board. Apart from that, there are several advantages if you use this type of board.
- No framing is required on single-layer boards thus saving time on work when compared to plaster systems.
- It is suitable to post an open architectural finish.
- You can add plaster if you want to paint the walls.
- Save labor for wall or partition work.
There are many advantages to using incombustible boards. However, when you want to use it, you need to be careful and consider several factors. Many recommend this material for interiors, but there are limitations when it comes to exterior needs. Outdoor use requires further enhancement with coating, sheet cement, or render.
Likewise, for narrow spaces, stiff board materials will make installation difficult. Vermiculite is more affordable in terms of price than fireproof boards. So, when choosing this board material or other materials, you must be prepared for the positive and negative values.
