Impact resistance

GTEC DB BOARD

Our acoustic plasterboard is called GTEC dB Board, identified by its distinctive blue colour. The board is stronger and harder than Standard plasterboard and due to its density, is 30% heavier.

The level of noise created is measured in decibels (or dB). At 30 RwdB, normal conversation can be distinguished. At 45 RwdB, loud conversation cannot be heard and at 50 RwdB, shouting can be heard but not distinguished. A single layer system of our 15mm board will:

• Cut-out noise 49 Rw dB sound insulation
• Achieve 30 minutes fire resistance from a single layer partition system
• Meets and exceeds Part E Building Regulations
