fermacell® – Your market leader in gypsum fibre and cement-bonded building boards
What began as the first fibre gypsum board produced in Germany has grown into a brand that has been renowned throughout Europe for more than 50 years for its high-quality fibre gypsum boards, flooring elements and cement-bonded boards for use in demanding interior fit-out projects. The focus is on practical systems for walls, floors and ceilings that are easy to plan and reliable to install. This includes not only boards and elements, but also coordinated installation steps and details – such as at junctions, joints and penetrations. This results in solutions that work just as well in new builds as they do in renovation and modernisation projects.
Our mission is to make construction more efficient for professionals.
