Differences between Traditional Gypsum Boards and Gypsum Boards with Fiberglass Coated Mat as Finish

Characteristics of Traditional Gypsum Boards

Traditional gypsum boards have been widely used in the construction field for many years. They mainly consist of a gypsum core material and paper finishes. This structure endows traditional gypsum boards with certain advantages. For example, the cost is relatively low, and they can meet the basic requirements for partition and wall decoration. However, traditional gypsum boards also have some limitations. For instance, their moisture-proof performance is relatively poor. In a high-humidity environment, they are prone to getting damp and deforming, which will affect their service life and aesthetics. Moreover, the strength of traditional gypsum boards is limited, and they are easily damaged when subjected to certain external forces.

Unique Characteristics and Advantages of Gypsum Boards with Fiberglass Coated Mat as Finish

01 Enhanced Strength and Durability 

Different from traditional gypsum boards, in gypsum boards with fiberglass coated mat as finish, such as Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum Access Panels, the fiberglass coated mat on the surface greatly enhances the overall strength of the gypsum board. Glass fiber materials have high tensile strength and can effectively resist external impacts and stretching, reducing the risk of damage to the gypsum board during use. The presence of Gypsum Fiberglass Mat makes this type of gypsum board less likely to deform during long-term use. Even when there are slight displacements in the building structure or when it is under certain pressure during transportation and installation, it can still maintain its shape and integrity, having better durability compared to traditional gypsum boards.

02 Excellent Moisture-proof Performance 

The Glass Fiber Mats For Drywall Panels and Gypsum Panel Glass Veils in the fiberglass coated mat-finished gypsum boards can effectively prevent the intrusion of moisture. This special finish structure forms a barrier, making it difficult for water vapor to penetrate into the gypsum core material.In humid environments such as bathrooms, kitchens or basements, if Gypsum Board Faced adopts fiberglass coated mat, it can avoid problems such as mildew, rot or deformation due to dampness like traditional gypsum boards, greatly prolonging the service life of the gypsum board.

03 Better Fire-proof Performance

Glass fiber itself has a certain fire-proof performance. When it is used as the finish of gypsum boards, it can improve the fire-proof rating of the entire gypsum board. In the event of a fire, the fiberglass coated mat can prevent the spread of the fire to a certain extent, providing more time for personnel evacuation and fire-fighting rescue.

In conclusion, although traditional gypsum boards are widely used in the field of building decoration, gypsum boards with fiberglass coated mat as finish, with their unique characteristics and advantages such as enhanced strength and durability, excellent moisture-proof performance and better fire-proof performance, have broader application prospects in modern construction projects with higher requirements for building material performance, especially in some special environments such as high-humidity areas or places with strict fire-proof requirements.
