FireCrunch differs from plasterboard in a number of ways in that it is:
- Approx. ten times stronger
- It won’t degrade in water*
- It cannot be eaten by termites so totally protects timber framing
- Is easier to handle and use (less chance of board damage)
- Can be used as both an indoor and outdoor lining
- Improves the thermal and sound insulation of your project
- Acoustics are Rw62 plus Ctr = net Rw52
- BCA requirement Rw50 net
- 90mm frame cavity using appropriate insulation batts FRL 90/90/90
- Is virtually fireproof (CSIRO certified). See Certifications (FRL 30/30/30 to 90/90/90) – AS1530.1-AS1530.4/2014-2029.
* Warranty: Prolonged submersion in water without an opportunity to dry out will void the FireCrunch warranty. Before using, treat this product as an indoor product: Store out of weather, under cover, and prime before external installation, then undercoat and paint as soon as possible.
Once sealed with the recommended primer, use Crommelin water-based finish coats to manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not use other under coatings, otherwise painted surfaces may be affected.
