Architects choose fermacell® fibre gypsum boards for Modern Schools.
We are specialists in supporting clients working in the education sector to help deliver schemes of outstanding value and design.
Experts in Education.
The demands placed on schools, colleges and universities are high, with the need for creative, flexible design solutions. Educational buildings today require sustainable and durable construction materials that can be adapted quickly and easily to the demands of modern teaching.
Our portfolio includes complete floor to ceiling solutions, offering benefits around space saving, enhanced strength, fire protection, acoustic performance, impact resistance, moisture resistance and much more.
Performance building products such as our fibre gypsum partitions play an essential role in keeping internal floor plans adaptable. Our boards can be easily moved to create an ever changing, dynamic learning environments.
fermacell® fibre gypsum boards come with strong impact-resistance performance, giving schools confidence that walls can withstand everyday knocks and bumps. Their durability means fewer repairs and a longer service life, supporting long-term value. 75mm stud partitions = severe duty and 2 kn crowd load.
The boards are exceptionally dense and tough, making them ideal for high‑traffic environments where surfaces must endure constant use.
Supports high‑performance design, with your specified single layer systems that can offer EI60 up to 15m high, helping architects meet demanding safety, durability and performance requirements.
Dead load hanging load capability of 150kg per linear metre without additional pattressing, allowing fixtures such as whiteboards, shelving, and lockers to be fixed directly. This greatly simplifies design and installation for school interiors.
The boards deliver excellent acoustic performance with single layer systems can achieve 54 dB Rw, helping minimise noise transfer between classrooms. This contributes to a more focused and comfortable learning environment for students and staff.
Installation is quick and straightforward, with fewer steps than traditional systems thanks to the board’s multi‑functional properties. This simplicity supports efficient project delivery and reduces onsite labour.
With fast installation and reduced need for secondary materials, boards can be installed before the envelope is watertight saving time which helps shorten program times significantly. This allows schools to complete refurbishments or new‑build phases rapidly, often within tight academic schedules.
High impact resistance and durable surfaces make fermacell® fibre gypsum boards suitable for sports halls and multi-use spaces. Acoustic performance also helps manage reverberation in large open-plan environments complete with a 20-year impact warranty.
Real education projects. Real performance.
