Fermacellとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Fermacell, a trade name of Xella, is a dry-lining board for walls, ceilings and floors. Fermacell insulation board has good fire retardant properties, and has (according to the company) high levels of acoustic insulation. It is actually a kind of gypsum board, but reinforced with fibers. In some cases it is used as an alternative to gypsum board due to its better properties, but it is also more expensive. It is usually sold as light gray sheets of 1cm thickness. It is however rather dusty and releases some SO2 gas when heated several hundred degrees.
