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.
