Linings
Lafarge Plasterboard lining systems are quick, economical to install and dramatically reduce the amount of water used in wall construction. Systems incorporating Lafarge Thermalcheck boards have a much better thermal response than conventional wet constructions, so they are less prone to surface condensation. Linings to external walls provide thermal insulation, control of water vapour and condensation risk in new build or renovation work. They correct minor surface irregularities and provide a smooth level wall surface suitable for direct decoration. Lafarge Plasterboard lining systems are not suitable for the isolation of dampness or for continuous exposure to moisture.
Direct bonding is used with GTEC E, Standard or dB board up to 15mm thick, up to 1200mm wide, for masonry backgrounds, using GTEC Universal Bonding Compound. Quick to apply, this method can be used to correct minor irregularities in dry substrates.
GTEC Dryliner is a completely dry system for drylining walls. It is fixed directly to the existing wall, allowing a cavity width between the wall and plasterboard lining ranging from 20mm to 130mm. It is a simple, quick and costeffective system that provides a simple means of achieving a flat surface irrespective of the condition of the substrate. It offers particular benefits in refurbishment work where walls are out of true.
The Lafarge GTEC Independent Wall Lining system is especially suited to reinforced concrete walls and steel framed walls. Fixed clear of the external wall, it allows space for services, or for high levels of thermal and acoustic insulation. It may also be used where the external wall has suffered damp ingress, but then treated with appropriate damp proofing systems.
Lafarge GTEC plasterboards may be used as a lining fixed direct to timber frames, in association with thermal insulation and a vapour control layer.
